A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on August 13

The top story in all papers today was the landmark Convention signed by Iran, Russia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan on the Legal Regime of the Caspian Sea.

Many papers covered the details of the agreement, and the ambiguities regarding Iran’s share of the world’s largest lake.

Also a top story was the beginning of the Judiciary’s swift prosecution of those involved in financial corruption.

The social media campaign #Where_Is_Your_Child, which challenges top officials to declare where their children are living and what they do, also received great coverage.
