Iran Front Page- IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Monday and picked headlines from 21 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.
The top story today was the victory of Iranian reformist and moderate candidates in local elections across the country, particularly Tehran. Reformists have taken all the 21 seats of Tehran City Council, ending an almost 15-year dominance of conservatives.
US President Donald Trumps visit to Saudi Arabia, his anti-Iran remarks, the huge deals he made with Arabs, and the reactions by Iranian officials also received great coverage.
The court ruling against top Bahraini Shiite cleric Sheikh Issa Qassim was also a top story in a number of newspapers today.
