A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on October 3

Newspapers on Monday covered the remarks made by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in a meeting with seminary scholars.

They also talked about Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s address to the Iranian Parliament and his responses to a hard-line MP.

The upcoming FIFA World Cup Qualification Match between Iran and South Korea also received great coverage. The match is scheduled to be held in Tehran on the night before Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of third Shiite Imam. Senior cleric Ayatollah Mohammad Yazdi has urged Sports Ministry to cancel the game because people are supposed to mourn at that night.

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