A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on April 6

IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Thursday and picked headlines from 14 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

Almost all newspapers highlighted the powerful earthquake which hit areas near the north-eastern Iranian city of Mashhad. Fortunately, the 6-magnitude quake didn’t have heavy casualties.
They also covered the imminent candidacy of Ebrahim Raeisi, a senior conservative cleric, in the upcoming presidential election.
Iran’s condemnation of the use of chemicals in Syria, and British Prime Minister Theresa May’s anti-Iran remarks during her visit to Riyadh also received great coverage.
Another top story today was the Iranian Transport Minister Abbas Akhondi’s controversial reaction to a journalist who questioned his ministry’s performance.
