Iran Front Page- IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Monday and picked headlines from 24 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.
The top story today was the presidential candidates’ trips to various cities and the remarks they made in their stump speeches.
Hassan Rouhani’s trip to Isfahan was particularly highlighted in today’s media, where reformist and pro-government papers released photos of the ‘huge’ number of people who welcomed Rouhani, and conservative papers published photos of the same ceremony from another point of view to show the ‘weak’ reception.
Conservative media also blasted Rouhani’s government for an alleged resumption of paying cash subsidies to those whose payments had been earlier cut. They criticized Rouhani for making such moves ahead of the Friday election in a bid to buy votes.
The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:
