Tehran playing host to a summit of gas-exporting countries and a meeting between the Supreme Leader and the Turkmen president dominated the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Monday. Also on the cover of reformist-leaning papers were the comments of the Expediency Council chairman about upcoming elections.

 

Ettela’at: The violent crimes of terrorist groups have nothing to do with Islam, said the Supreme Leader in a meeting with Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow.

The Leader further said that security, welfare and progress in neighboring countries and Islamic states serve the interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Ayatollah Khamenei: The brutal crimes committed by the terrorist groups, including beheading or burning people alive, show that they are detached from Islam.
