A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on August 8

Newspapers on Monday covered the ongoing visit of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to the Azeri capital of Baku, where he held a meeting and signed several MoUs with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev, and is due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin as well.

The execution of Shahram Amiri, an Iranian nuclear academic who had spied for the US and given Iran’s secret information to the CIA, also received great coverage. Judiciary Spokesman Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei on Sunday confirmed the earlier reports about his execution.

A Saturday night TV debate between the reformist Sadegh Kharrazi, the chief of Vaghaye Ettefaghieh, and the conservative Hossein Shariatmadari, the chief of Kayhan, was also a top and hot story.
