A look at Iranian newspaper front pages on March 15

IFP - IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Thursday, March 15, and picked headlines from 18 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.



The top story in most newspapers today was the resignation of Tehrans reformist mayor, Mohammad-Ali Najafi, for what he called a new medical problem. However, City Councillors say the pressures on Najafi, particularly after trying to reveal the past corruption cases and attending a controversial ceremony where young girls were dancing, were perhaps the main reason for his resignation.

US President Donald Trumps dismissal of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also remained a top story, with several newspapers discussing the possible outcomes of the replacement.

Remarks by Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi about Irans withdrawal from the nuclear deal in case of US pull-out also received great coverage today.

Irans new oil deal with Russia and German Chancellor Angela Merkels re-election were among other top stories highlighted in todays front pages.
