A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on June 22

Almost all newspapers today covered the remarks made by Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, about the importance of International Quds Day and the fight against Israel, arrogance, and global hegemony.

They also highlighted the calls by various Iranian clerics, officials, and bodies for people’s huge turnout in the International Quds Day rallies on Friday.

The top story today, however, was the unprecedented changes in Saudi Arabia’s ruling system. The move by Saudi King Salman to appoint his son as the Crown Prince was widely covered by Iranian newspapers as a soft and velvet coup.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:
