A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on May 25

Most Iranian newspapers covered the remarks made by the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in a Wednesday ceremony to mark the country’s Sacred Defence in the imposed war against Iraq in the 1980s.

The 3rd of Khordad, May 24, which is the day when the Iranian city of Khorramshahr was recaptured from Iraqi forces in the 1980s, was also widely covered today.

The top story, however, was the Bahraini regime’s crackdown on its citizens, particularly its move to arrest the top Shiite cleric Sheikh Isa Qassim.

The pro-Iran remarks made by the Emir of Qatar, which was later dismissed by Qatari government, and the reactions by Saudi Arabia and the UAE also received great coverage,

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:
