Iran Front Page- IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Monday, September 25, and picked headlines from 17 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.
The top story in all Iranian newspapers today was the Monday referendum on the Iraqi Kurdistans independence. The referendum is being held despite international and regional opposition and warnings by its neighbours. Newspapers widely covered the move by Iran and Turkey to close their airspaces to the Iraqi Kurdistan at Baghdads request.
The remarks made by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in an interview with CNN about the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers also received great coverage.
Meanwhile, reformist papers covered the speculations about incumbent Parliament Speaker Ali Larijanis possible bid for presidency in 2021 as a reformist candidate, and quoted reformist figures as saying they have better options for the next presidential votes. The speculations were raised after Larijani, in a ceremony, sat next to reformist leader Seyyed Mohammad Khatami and had informal talks with him.
