A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on July 31

Newspapers on Sunday highlighted the remarks made by Imam Khomeini’s grandson, Seyyed Ali Khomeini, about the reasons for disqualification of Seyyed Hassan Khomeini from running for Assembly of Experts elections. He warned of plots to separate the late Imam’s family and the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
