The top story in today’s newspapers was the second anniversary of the day when Iran nuclear deal was signed between Tehran and world powers. Several papers, both pro-government ones and critics, reviewed the outcomes of the deal during the past two years.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s comments about Washington’s failure to comply with the nuclear deal were particularly highlighted on the JCPOA’s second birthday.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s congratulatory message to his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on the country’s national day as well as the anti-Iran remarks made by US President Donald Trump in his visit to Paris were among other top stories.
The tragic case of Atena Aslani, the 7-year-old girl who was murdered after being raped in northwestern Iran, also remained a top story on Saturday.
Newspapers also continued covering the speculations about the line-up of Rouhani’s next cabinet, for which the president is under heavy pressure from all political camps.
