A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on August 21

Newspapers on Sunday continued covering the medals won by Iranian athletes in Olympic games, particularly the Gold one bagged by Hassan Yazdani in freestyle wrestling.

They also covered the ongoing debates and remarks about Russia’s use of Iranian airbase, and the reaction of Iranian Defence Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan.

The controversy over the Iranian Oil Ministry’s contracts has also taken the Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh to the Parliament, where they should discuss the contracts and revise them if necessary.
