August 8 was designated National Reporter’s Day in Iran after Taliban militants killed Mahmoud Saremi, the correspondent of the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), along with eight Iranian diplomats, in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif in 1998.
In a message on Friday, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani expressed his felicitations on the occasion of National Reporter’s Day.
