The top story in all newspapers today was the remarks made by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in the first national conference on citizens’ rights.
Conservative and economic papers mostly focused on Rouhani’s comments about the increase in fuel prices and his reaction to the criticisms against his government, while reformist papers mostly covered his remarks about citizens’ rights and freedom of expression.
A missile fired by Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement at a Saudi royal palace in Riyadh also received great coverage today.
