A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on July 23

Newspapers today widely covered a letter penned by the conservative mayor of Tehran Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf in criticism of his fellow right-wingers for their mistakes. In his letter addressed to young ‘revolutionaries’, Qalibaf raised the issue of starting ‘neo-conservatism’ in Iran.

Another top story was the remarks made by Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi in response to the White House’s statement on US prisoners. Araqchi urged Washington to immediately release Iranian prisoners held in the US.

Iranian papers also highlighted the country’s launch of a line for mass production of a long-range air defence missile named Sayyad 3.
