Towfigh was the most important satyrical weekly in the period between the 1953 coop deta and the 1978 revolution. It created a style of satirical writing which is still dominant among the satirical publications in Iran. The issue here is the Twofiq yearbook from 1970 (1349 Solar Hijri).

The last issue of Shahrvande Emrouz (No. 71 – November 8, 2008). The magazine was closed down by Iran’s Ministry of Guidance in November 8, 2008.
