A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on August 29

Newspapers on Monday covered the remarks made by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in a meeting with Iranian Air Defence commanders. In this meeting, the Leader warned against any attack on the country and said the country would show crushing responses to the enemy.

The inauguration of Iran’s National Information Network was also a top story in many newspapers today. The free flow of information and the safer access to data are among the advantages mentioned for the network.

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif also wrapped up his Latin America tour and returned to Tehran. His visits were widely covered by Iranian media on Monday.

The ongoing debates about an alleged scandal in Tehran municipality are also receiving great attention in many newspapers. The case is still under investigation, and no one has confirmed anything yet.
