All papers today covered the tragic terrorist attack on a military parade in Ahvaz, south-west of Iran, which claimed the lives of 29 and wounded over 50 others.
Messages by the Leader of Irans Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani, and the condolences extended by world leaders and officials received great coverage today.
Several papers also criticized the media coverage of the event by the London-based TV channels Iran International, which had a live interview with the spokesman of the Al-Ahwazi terrorist group, and the BBC Persian, which refused to call the attack a terrorist one.
