Aftab-e Yazd: Ahmadinejad’s denial was denied.

The Foreign Ministry has said that dissemination of lies attributed to Zarif by the office of [former President] Ahmadinejad is actionable.

[This came after FM Zarif said in an interview that the previous government had allowed Iranian nuclear scientists to be interviewed. In a statement, the office of the former president rejected the top diplomat’s remarks as incorrect.]

Aftab-e Yazd: “We will show whether we have 8 percent of votes or 80 percent [in March elections],” Mohammad Reza Aref, a reformist, said sarcastically in response to Kayhan. [After the 2013 presidential elections, the principlist daily had repeatedly said the reformist camp could garner only eight percent of the popular vote.]
