WANA:

The budget bill for the year 1405  (2026–2027) of the Islamic Republic of Iran, recently submitted by the government to the Iranian parliament and formally announced, indicates a significant rise in the country’s defense and security spending.

According to official figures, total defense and security allocations in the proposed bill amount to approximately $9.23 billion, calculated on the basis of an estimated exchange rate of 130,000 tomans per US dollar.

Under the proposal, Iran’s defense budget has seen a nominal increase of around 145% compared with the previous year. The government frames this rise as part of efforts to strengthen deterrence, manage security threats, and maintain stability in a highly tense regional environment.
