All newspapers today covered the remarks made by the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in a meeting with a group of workers ahead of Int’l Workers Day.
The Leader rejected the idea that an Iranian administration has averted a war on Iran, and stressed that it was the Iranian people’s turnout that removed the spectre of war, not a particular government.
They also covered the inauguration of Persian Gulf Star refinery in southern Iran, which will make the country self-sufficient in petrol production once completely developed.
President Rouhani, who launched the refinery in the port city of Bandar Abbas, said it is a result of the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.
