IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian dailies on Saturday and picked headlines from 19 of them.
The front pages of Iranian dailies were dominated by a number of stories such as the first hiking of the Supreme Leader in the heights of Tehran since his prostate surgery last month. On the international front, the winning of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize by Kailash Satyarthi, an Indian children’s rights activist, and Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani female education activist, grabbed a lot of attention. Also drawing attention was news about relentless ISIL attacks on the predominantly Kurdish town of Kobani in Syria. A decline in Iran’s unemployment rate also appeared on the front pages of several dailies.
