A look at Iranian newspaper front pages on Dec. 17

IFP has taken a look at the front pages of newspapers on Wednesday and picked headlines from 19 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.
The massacre of schoolchildren at the hands of the Pakistani Taliban was the dominant front-page story in Iranian newspapers on Wednesday. A bloody day in Peshawar, one headline read. Ruthless massacre of children, said another. Also on the front pages of the dailies were the comments of the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps on relations between the corps and the government of President Rouhani. Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari was quoted as saying that the president was not alluding to his men when he told an anti-corruption conference in Tehran last week if what they have at their disposal is given to anyone, they would become corrupt. Dailies also ran front-page reports on the Iranian-born Haron Monis who took hostages at a caf in Sydney, Australia and was killed in a shootout with police after a 16-hour-long drama.
