A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on May 4

IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Wednesday May 4 and has picked headlines from 19 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s statements at the opening ceremony of the Tehran International Book Fair, about the necessity for showing tolerance towards criticism and giving freedom and security to authors, were widely covered by Iranian newspapers.

The media also focused on the warning by IRGC’s Brigadier General Hossein Salami to block the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf if the US threatens Iran.

There were also reports on a bill passed by the parliament to tax certain bodies like the custodians of holy shrines and IRGC construction units, which had previously been exempt from taxation.
