A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on April 8

IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Saturday and picked headlines from 19 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

Almost all newspapers today highlighted the US missile attacks on a Syrian airbase near Homs, and the reactions it sparked throughout the world.

Another top story was the first edition of Tehran International Marathon, which was held on Friday and provoked controversy mostly because of its women’s section.

The candidacy of Ebrahim Raeesi in Iran’s May presidential election and the conservatives’ decision to support him also received great coverage.
