The top story in all Iranian newspapers was the recent remarks by President Hassan Rouhani in a live televised interview. Both reformist and conservative papers seemed to be criticizing the government. The reformists criticized that Rouhani had not been transparent enough, and refused to name the trouble-makers. Conservatives, on the other hand, highlighted Rouhani’s unrealized promises.
The developments in the United Nations over adding or removing Saudi Arabia to/from the black list of child killers also received great coverage.
