Newspapers on Wednesday covered the meeting between the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and the commanders of Iran’s Police, where the Leader underlined the need for expansion of the Law Enforcement’s capabilities.
The German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel’s visit to Iran also remained a top story as his requests for meetings with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani were reportedly rejected due to his call for Iran’s recognition of Israel.
