The Latest from Iran (21 August): All Hail the Supreme Leader

0855 GMT: We begin by noting the unanimity of front pages of Iranian newspapers, displayed by Peyke Iran, hailing the Supreme Leader's statements at the end of Ramadan. From "Leader Slams Enemies' Divide-and-Rule Policy: Zionism A Threat to All Humanity" to "Palestine is Main Issue of Islamic World", the headlines and images proclaim unity behind one man. Only Mardomsalari despatches Ayatollah Khamenei to the side, preferring a central photo of Iranians at the beach.

The acclamation is taken to great and curious lengths by Press TV, which declares, "Leader Grants Clemency to Iranian Prisoner[s]", this morning --- in fact, the amnesty is six days old.
