The top story in almost all Iranian newspapers today was the visit of an EU delegation headed by its agriculture commissioner. The delegation visited Iran to examine the capacities for expansion of ties, particularly in the field of agriculture as well as the opening of an office in Tehran.
The visit was widely hailed by economic newspapers, but the conservative ones voiced their strong opposition to the opening of an EU office in Tehran.
A meeting between Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, and Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani also received great coverage. The outcome of the trilateral meeting held in the Judiciary chief’s office was an agreement on changing the structure of some ministries, which was first reported by news outlets, but later denied by the government!
