\n“Iran\u2019s sports level or Sports Minister\u2019s level”<\/strong><\/span>
\nThis newspaper criticized Iran\u2019s sports minister due to the low number of medals achieved in the Summer Olympic Games in Rio this year compared to that in London 2012. The minister said, \u201cThis is the level of sports in Iran,\u201d but the press responded, \u201cThis is the level of sports minister in Iran.\u201d Four years ago, Iran achieved four gold, five silver, and three bronze medals in London, while this time in Rio, it has achieved three gold, one silver, and four bronze medals; consequently, Iran has lost its seventeenth position back to the twenty-fifth on the world. This is actually considered failure compared to the previous games during Ahmadinejad’s era. In fact, Rouhani made great expectations on Rio Games as a positive point in his electoral campaign, but results were disappointing to him. Sports Minister also angered the Iranian sports circle when he expressed his satisfaction with results compared to previous games. They also criticized the minister\u2019s focus on Soccer and ignoring other sports, stressing that the Minister\u2019s bad policies have led to the deterioration of Iran\u2019s sports situation in Iran, which has driven the Iranian sports coaches and experts to leave the country to work in Uzbekistan and Morocco.<\/p>\n

Etimad Newspaper<\/strong><\/span>
\n“Rouhani’s trail until elections”<\/strong><\/span>
\nThis editorial handled Rouhani\u2019s political path until the next presidential elections in May 2017. It said, \u201cOver three years, Rouhani\u2019s main focus was on reviving the economy along with running centrifuges in nuclear reactors.\u201d However, the editorial added, the economy is not functioning based on slogans like orders and revolutionary, which was adopted by Ahmadinejad and damaged the Iranian economy. In fact, Rouhani\u2019s government has achieved economic growth that shifted the minus 8.6% of Nejad\u2019s government to 4.4% which is; unfortunately, unnoticed by the Iranian people because of lack of cash flow crisis among most economic sectors and the constant rate of high unemployment. In order to do what he promised, Rouhani should move toward a renaissance in the construction sector and industrial cities; he has to guarantee people\u2019s rights and freedoms and respect art and artists. If Rouhani, according to the newspaper does his promises and makes more achievements, he will absolutely win the next presidential race.<\/p>\n

Ebticar Newspaper<\/strong>
\n“Oil agreements: Experts whispers and Parliamentarians Talk”<\/strong><\/span>
\nThis newspaper declared its rejection of the Iranian parliamentary resolution to secretly conduct the Iranian agreements discussions. The editorial says that recent developments in renewable energy technologies, and severe competition by oil-exporting countries to seize Iran’s oil market share, evolves the need to swiftly sign oil agreements. The editorial added, Iran\u2019s new form of oil agreements gives foreign companies more amenities to invest in this sector, especially in high-risk areas and shared oil fields with the Gulf States, particularly Qatar and Kuwait. In fact, Rouhani\u2019s government seeks swift implementation of economic agreements to take the lead in the political rivalry, while Khamenei disrupts the signing of such agreements, and then turn them to the parliament for ratification that will finally adopt Khamenei\u2019s point of view. The editorial believes that critics of such agreements have gone beyond limits through the accusation of the minister of oil of being bribed in order to sign these agreements. The editorial wonders if Zangah that has been in his position for thirty years is qualified to design such agreements or it is just a sacrifice of the Iranian interests for the sake o political race.<\/p>\n
