Newspapers on Monday covered the ongoing visit of Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to Africa. Aimed at tapping into the economic potentials of the continent, Zarif’s tour began by visiting the Nigerian capital of Abuja.
The papers also covered a ceremony in which thousands of satellite dishes and equipment, which had been voluntarily delivered to IRGC’s Basij forces, were destroyed. This came as Culture Minister Ali Jannati once again called for revision of laws regarding the use of satellite receivers and equipment, saying that the country should finally accept it like other new technologies.
The formation of an anti-Iran coalition by Arab and Israeli sides was also a top story in many newspapers.
