A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on July 22

The top story today was the eighth meeting of the JCPOA Joint Commission held in the Austrian capital of Vienna. During the meeting, Iran complained about the US violation of its commitments under the nuclear deal, but was not convinced of the other parties’ justification.

Meanwhile, the remarks by President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif about the US breach of its promises and even talks of withdrawing from the nuclear deal were widely covered by conservative newspapers, which highlighted the fact that Rouhani’s government is no longer over-optimistic about the other parties of the Iran nuclear deal.

Another top story today was Kuwait’s move to deport several Iranian diplomats over allegations that Tehran has rejected.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:
