Iran: Parliament Vows to Fight US ’Adventurism’
Local Editor
Iran's parliament voted Tuesday to urgently work towards increasing funds for the country's missile program and Revolutionary Guards in response to Washington's "adventurism" in the region, media reported.
The overwhelming majority of Iranian lawmakers passed a motion to prioritize legislation "to confront terrorist and adventurist actions by the United States in the region," the Mizan Online website reported.
The motion was originally introduced after the US Senate passed new sanctions on Iran in June and sent them to the House of Representatives.
The proposed bill, published by the ISNA news agency, mandates the government to allocate an additional $260 million to the joint armed forces for the "development of the missile program" and the same amount to the Revolutionary Guards' foreign operations wing, the Quds Force.
The motion sends a clear message to the Americans that Iran's parliament "will resist them with all its power," Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said.
"The US should understand the message of the overwhelming majority vote against its adventurous and terrorist actions in the region", Larijani added.
Despite different political tastes and ideas, the MPs are unanimous against US actions and Majlis will stand against such actions as firmly as it can, Larijani stressed.
The bill was presented as a counteraction against US Senate bill ‘Countering Iran's Destabilizing Activities Act' passed on May 15.
