Newspapers on Wednesday covered the remarks made by Iranian Defence Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan as well as the former Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi in criticism of the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, known as JCPOA, and the other parties’ violation of their commitments. Dehqan, however, noted that the deal has been signed with the approval of the Establishment, not the government alone.
The change of the uniforms of Iran’s Rio Olympics Team also received wide coverage. The initial design was criticized by many Iranian social users. Then another Iranian designer offered new designs, which were welcomed by the public. In a rare move, the National Olympics Committee also gave in to the online pressures and accepted the new designs, commissioning the designer to prepare the uniforms in the short period of time remaining until the beginning of the games.
