''Kayhan'' ((ペルシア語:کيهان), (英語:universe)) is an influential newspaper in Iran. It is considered "the most conservative Iranian newspaper." Hossein Shariatmadari is the editor-in-chief of ''Kayhan''. His official position is representative of the Supreme Leader. Its 2007 circulation was about 70,000, with about 1,000 employees worldwide.〔 Kayhan also publishes special foreign editions, which include the English-language ''Kayhan International''.〔 Its circulation in 2008 is estimated to be 350,000.〔 ==History and profile== ''Kayhan'' was founded in February 1943 by owner Abdul-Rahman Faramarzi and Mostafa Mesbahzadeh as editor-in-chief. Later the roles of Faramarzi and Mesbahzadeh were reversed. Published in Iran as well as in London, the newspaper had a circulation greater than one-million prior to the 1979 Islamic Revolution. After the overthrow of the Shah all of Mesbahzadeh's assets were seized, including the publishing plant, which was the main headquarters of the daily. In May 1980, Ayatollah Khomenei named Ebrahim Yazdi, then foreign minister, as head of the daily. Under the guidance of Mesbahzadeh, the London office of ''Kayhan'' continued its work and publishes a monarchist weekly issue known as ''Kayhan London'', which has a small circulation. In 2006, Mesbahzadeh died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles, California.〔 The paper focuses on political, cultural, social and economic news.〔 (subscription required) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kayhan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
