A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on June 25

Almost all newspapers today covered the reactions to the insults hurled by a group of hardliners at President Hassan Rouhani during the Int’l Quds Day rallies on Friday.

A popular campaign by Rouhani fans to support him in Twitter, and the Judiciary’s vow to prosecute the insulters were among top stories.

The decision by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to extend the suspension of anti-Iran financial restrictions also received great coverage today.

Another top story was the failed attempt to launch a terrorist attack on the Grand Mosque of Mecca, and the speculations about the possible role of the Saudi ruling system in plotting the attack.
