President Hassan Rouhani’s victory in Iran’s May 19 presidential elections was widely covered today. Both moderate and conservative media highlighted the re-election in their front pages.
However, conservative papers focused more on a statement released by the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, in which the president was advised to fight corruption and resolve the economic woes in his four-year term.
Another top story today was US President Donald Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia, and the missile strikes by Yemeni forces on Riyadh ahead of the trip.
