A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on October 16

The majority of newspapers on Sunday covered the general policies of elections outlined by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Another top story was the recent talks in the Swiss city of Lausanne on the ongoing crisis in Syria, which were attended by foreign ministers of Iran, Russia, the US, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and other key players. Only one newspaper, Etemad, reported the fruitless end of the negotiations; all other papers were printed before the end of the talks.

The EU court’s move to reject Iran Tanker Company’s sanctions relief also received great coverage today.

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