IFP - IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Wednesday, October 18, and picked headlines from 15 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.
The top story today was the remarks made by Iranian officials about the European Unions call for negotiation with Tehran on its missile program. They particularly covered the warning by Ali Akbar Velayati, an international aide to Irans Leader, who said the EU is not allowed to raise the issue of talks on Irans regional presence and missile program.
Newspapers also covered the defeat of secessionist Kurds led by Masoud Barzani from the Iraqi central government in Kirkuk, and rumours of their independence referendum being suspended after mediation of Iranian General Qassemi Soleimani.
The Shahrvand newspaper dedicated its front page photo to the dire situation of displaced Rohingya Muslims and Irans dispatch of medical and food aid to the minority group.
Some reformist papers also highlighted domestic issues including the 2021 presidential election and criticism of conservatives.
