A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on May 16




Iran Front Page- IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Tuesday and picked headlines from 22 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.





The top story in all Iranian newspapers today was Mohammad Baqer Qalibafs decision to drop out of presidential race in favour of his fellow right-winger Ebrahim Raisi.

The move was widely hailed by conservative media, who praised Qalibaf for the revolutionary decision. Reformist and pro-government papers also called Qalibaf a proxy candidate who just wasted peoples time and public funds for useless campaign.

A gathering in Tehran attended by Iranian ministers of foreign affairs, culture, and oil, and a number of Iranian artists was also a top story today. Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarifs remarks were particularly highlighted today.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:
