The comments of the Supreme Leader at a meeting with Basij commanders dominated the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Thursday. President Rouhani’s appeal to Russia and Turkey to resolve their differences judiciously also appeared on the cover of most dailies.

 



 

Ettela’at: Basij rises from the ranks of the public and represents the whole nation, said the Supreme Leader at a meeting with Basij [a volunteer force affiliated to the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps] commanders from across the nation.
