A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on August 14

Newspapers on Sunday covered the order by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei to pardon or commute the sentences of 750 prisoners on the occasion of Imam Reza’s birthday anniversary.

They also highlighted the first gold medal bagged by Team Iran in Rio Olympic Games 2016. Kianoosh Rostami, the Iranian weightlifter, was the one who seized the medal.
