The top story in many papers today was President Hassan Rouhani’s new picks for the four ministries of trade, labour, economy, and roads.

Several papers also covered the US’ decision to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty), which had been signed between the US and Russia in 1987.
