IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Saturday and picked headlines from 20 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

Newspapers on Saturday focused their attention on the opening of Iran’s new parliament, where the MPs are going to elect the reformist Mohammad Reza Aref or the moderate conservative Ali Larijani as the new speaker.

The remarks by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, on the nuclear talks and the concessions Iran received were also a top story in today’s newspapers.
