Iranian Press Monitor

How this series is produced

Each edition surveys the Iranian front pages for a single news cycle, typically a dozen or more titles read directly from scans and from the papers' own channels. The hardline flagships, the reformist press and the economic dailies are read together, because the gaps between them are usually where the signal is.

The published post carries the executive summary, the confidence-tagged key judgments, the macro trends and a front-page snapshot. Full per-paper analysis and the complete translation appendices run in an extended PDF edition linked from each post.

Translations are editorial. Named-figure attributions are checked against the source pages where possible, and claims that could not be corroborated are marked as reported rather than confirmed.
