These developments come as media outlets point to Parliament’s recess and the activity of certain groups on media platforms.

• Mohammad Javad Larijani, an international affairs expert, said on a state broadcaster program that Parliament should not fall into a state of complacent slumber and that its five-month recess was a bad thing.
• Parliament issued a statement in response to Mohammad Javad Larijani’s remarks.
• In its statement, Parliament described attacks on the legislative institution and the invitation of a limited number of guests with specific tendencies, mostly critics of Parliament and its leadership, as something that has become routine on state media.
• Khabar Online wrote on its Twitter account that Parliament is on recess, but more extensive and more valuable platforms have been handed over to hardliners.
• Khabar Online also noted that the state broadcaster’s airwaves have been hosting full-time innuendo and dissent against the negotiators.
• According to Khabar Online, in the latest example, a member of the National Security Commission told diplomats: “You’ve done your rounds; now hand over the field.”
• Sputnik Persian referred to the convening of the first session of the new Parliament in Damascus.. Coverage difference: Both Jamaran and Khabar Online addressed Mohammad Javad Larijani’s remarks and Parliament’s response; however, Khabar Online additionally referred to the activities of “hardliners” on state broadcaster media and to comments by a member of the National Security Commission. Sputnik Persian, by contrast, covered a completely different topic, namely the convening of the first session of the new Parliament in Damascus, and made no reference to internal Iranian issues.
