TEHRAN (Iran News) – Speaking in the course of reviewing next year’s budget bill (2021) on Sunday, Mohammad Mehdi Mofatteh said that increase of the defense budget of the country should certainly be taken into consideration in the formulation of next year’s budget bill.
The index for determining the defense budget of the country is usually in such a way that the defense budget is divided by the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country, Mofatteh added.
“Given the specific situation of the region, it is necessary to increase the defense budget of the country compared to the defense budget of neighboring countries,” he said.
