IFP has taken a look at the front pages of newspapers on Saturday and picked headlines from 17 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

Nuclear talks in Europe between representatives of Iran and P5+1 dominated the front pages of most Iranian dailies on Saturday. Calls by senior clerics at their meetings with the economy minister for measures to streamline the economy and rallies in Iran and elsewhere in the world in condemnation of desecration by Charlie Hebdo of Islamic sanctities made front-page headlines too. Reformist dailies dedicated their front pages to a gathering of reformists, a first in six years, in preparation for parliamentary elections in early 2016.
