Nozar Shafiee, the rapporteur for the parliamentary commission, told Tasnim that Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will attend the meeting to weigh plans for boosting next year’s defense budget.
The meeting will be held soon, the MP said.
Shafiee stressed that the current regional circumstances and threats posed by Takfiri terrorist groups make it necessary to further support the Iranian military forces.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly stressed that its military might is defensive in nature and poses no threat to other countries.
