Iran Front Page- IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Thursday and picked headlines from 13 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.
The top story today was the former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejads unexpected move to register to run for Irans presidency. Most reformist and moderate newspapers covered the surprising move, but major conservative papers decided to ignore it on their front pages.
Many newspapers also covered the other unusual candidates who are applying for Irans presidency in the absence of rules that prevent ordinary people from running.
The meeting between the US Secretary of State and Russian Foreign Minister in Moscow and their talks on the recent US strike on Syria also received great coverage.
The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:
