Iran Front Page- IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Monday, June 18, and picked headlines from 16 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.
Newspapers today widely covered a campaign launched by former football player Ali Karimi, a popular celebrity, to ask people not to buy cars, gold coins, foreign currencies, and any other commodity whose price has soured for the next 30 days.
Also a top story was the abduction and rape of 41 girls in the city of Iranshahr in south-eastern Iran, whose news was recently declared by the Friday prayers Imam of the Sunni-majority city. Officials have vowed to seriously and immediately pursue the shocking case.
