IFP has taken a look at the front pages of newspapers on Saturday and picked headlines from 23 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

The burial of Ayatollah Khazali in Mashhad and continued clashes between Palestinians and Israelis at Al-Aqsa Mosque dominated the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Saturday. Reformist-leaning dailies gave extensive coverage to the comments of Ayatollah Rafsanjani and Seyyed Hassan Khomeini about the upcoming elections too.

 

Ettela’at: “A new Intifada is underway,” said the Islamic Jihad.

The international community has condemned the Zionist regime for desecrating the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In Tehran worshippers took to the streets after Friday prayers to condemn the Zionist aggression against the holy site.
