The Iranian parliament’s vote of confidence to the three new ministers in President Hassan Rouhani’s Cabinet dominated the front pages of newspapers in Iran on Nov. 2. Conservative outlets downplayed the confirmation of the Cabinet reshuffle, while Reformist media hailed it as a victory.
Reza Salehi Amiri, Saeed Soltanifar and Fakhreddin Ahmadi Danesh Ashtiani won votes of confidence to take over the ministries of culture and Islamic guidance, youth affairs and sports, and education, respectively, only seven months before Iran’s next presidential election.
