Hesaid the decision has been made as part of the plan to counter hostile actions of US government who equips terrorist groups inside the region against the Resistance Front; “as a strategic policy, Islamic Republic of Iran will seriously confront terrorists.”

“As such, approximately 300 million dollars have been allocated to promote Iran’s missile program while a similar amount has been assigned to support Qods Force of IRGC, in the absence of whom, terrorists would be ruling in Damascus and Baghdad,” he underscored.
The senior MP clarified that the envisaged amounts have been specifically assigned to confront recent actions of the US and will add up to the figures defined the Sixth National Development Plan, Mehr News Agency reported.
