IFP- Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei paid tribute to the mausoleum of Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic, and the tombs of martyrs including the firefighters killed in recent Plasco Building collapse and the pilgrims killed in 2015 Mina tragedy. The homage paid by the Leader was widely covered today.
President Hassan Rouhani’s remarks against his US counterpart’s visa ban also received great coverage. Rouhani described Trump as a novice politician in his Wednesday remarks.
Many newspapers also criticized officials, including Mayor of Tehran Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, for refusing to apologize over the recent deadly collapse of Plasco high-rise in Tehran. The two officials had attended a Wednesday parliamentary session to brief MPs on the incident.
Defence Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan’s remarks about Iran’s missile test were also a top story today. Dehqan confirmed the test, but stressed that it was not a violation of nuclear deal or the UNSC Resolution 2231.
