IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Saturday and picked headlines from 22 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

Newspapers on Saturday highlighted the Bronze medal won by Iranian female taekwondo player, Kimia Alizadeh, as the first-ever medal for Iranian women.

They also covered the surprise visit to Tehran by the Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and his 5-hour talks with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif.

The developments of Syria, particularly the recent photo of the astonished Syrian boy ‘Omran’ also received good coverage.

Russia’s use of Iran’s airbase for attacks on ISIS positions in Syria and the reactions also remained a top story in many newspapers.
