The deadly earthquake in the Western Iranian province of Kermanshah was the top story in all Iranian newspapers today. The earthquake has so far killed over 433 and wounded nearly 8,000 people.
At least seven papers today used Kurdish words in their headlines to offer condolences to the Kurds of Iran’s Kermanshah, who suffered the biggest damage in the earthquake.
Almost all papers covered a message by the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei to condole with the nation over the earthquake and to order the officials to accelerate their rescue and relief efforts.
They also highlighted the Leader’s remarks about the splendour of Arba’een pilgrimage and his thanks to the Iraqi nation and government for organizing the mass pilgrimage and hosting the pilgrims.
