A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on June 13

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s Sunday address to the new members of Iran’s Parliament was a top story in many newspapers. He briefed the MPs on the latest achievements of the JCPOA and provided them with statistics regarding the deal and its positive outcomes.

Today is the third anniversary of President Hassan Rouhani’s victory in the 2013 Presidential Elections. Several media discussed his 3-year performance, and Iran, in particular, published a special 128-page issue on the anniversary with many interviews and comments by popular figures from different social, economic, cultural, and political fields.

A recent terrorist attack in the US city of Orlando was also widely covered. The attack on a gay nightclub killed at least 50 and wounded dozens more.

Iranian media also covered recent statements by US officials denying Saudi Arabia’s role in the 9/11 attacks. The remarks received great coverage because they came shortly after the UN decision to remove Riyadh’s name from a blacklist of children’s rights violators under Saudi pressure.
