IFP - IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Thursday, October 19, and picked headlines from 12of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.
The top story in all Iranian newspapers today was the remarks made by the Leader of Irans Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei about US President Donald Trumps anti-Iran rhetoric, Europes stances on Irans regional presence and missile program, and the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.
This was Ayatollah Khameneis first official reaction since the Trump administrations efforts to undermine the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Several newspapers, particularly the pro-government ones, widely covered the comments by European officials about their resolve to continue trade ties with Tehran. However, Irans Leader noted that paying lip service is not enough and they should show their support in action. Ayatollah Khamenei also urged Europe to refrain from interfering in Irans defensive program and regional presence.
Almost all pro-government and reformist papers also covered the financial charges against former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Economic papers, meanwhile, covered the Chinese presidents remarks about Beijings efforts to create new era of Chinese Socialism and turning into the worlds number one economic power.
Newspapers also continued covering the allegations about Iranian General Qassem Soleimanis mediation between the Iraqi central government and the Iraqi Kurdistan region.
