Iran spends a small percentage of her GDP on defense (3%)....compared to North Korea (25%).........Saddam in 1990 (26%)......Britain in 1945 (75%)....USA in 1945 (45%)....the Soviet Union in 1989...18%.
Now the Israeli/USA funded ISIS stalks Syria via NATO Turkey and Jordan, where Iran has sent a few Revolutionary Guards to protect the moderate Shia aligned Alawite Assad government.
The Israeli/USA funded ISIS stalks Iraq ALSO via NATO Turkey and Jordan, where Iran has sent a few Revolutionary Guards, including the Quds Forces to protect the moderate Shia aligned Iraqi government in Baghdad.
According to Kurdish sources the Israeli/USA backed ISIS number a staggering 200,000 .......helped additionally by the crypto-Jewish run governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other GCC countries financially.
The USA is pretending to fight ISIS, their proxy agents in the region in Syria and Iraq.
Unlike the USA, Iran cannot pretend, and has launched combat missions against ISIS in Northern Iraq....using the Revolutionary Guards and the ramshackle Shah era Iranian air force.
The sham Iraqi ghost army, trained by the sham drug peddling Pentagon surrendered on masse to the advancing USA backed ISIS from NATO Turkey. SO $50 billion meant for training/equipment of the Iraqi military instead went into the coffers of corrupt Pentagon officers, with bank accounts in the...wait for it ....................Cryto-Jewish run Gulf State Banks.
This is a faggotty gay confusing scenario of Jewish paranoia, fantasy, corruption, destabilization and mayhem.
The filthy conspiring JEW with his Bongo Bongo North African religion.
The corrupt Neanderthals in the Pentagon who cock suck the Jew, for his shekel.....and do not see the harm this charade does to their country.
They apprehend no noble sense of honor or shame at such treachery.
Now the little Jew Apartheid state attacks Syria for election purposes which are forth coming in that shitty little country, next year.
THEREFORE.......Iran must increase its defense expenditure, AND increase its air-defense you puppets of London

Iran to hike military spending despite lower oil prices, sanctions
By reuters and antiwar.com
Iranian President
Hassan Rouhani will hike military spending by more than a third in the
next fiscal year despite presenting a “cautious, tight” budget to
parliament on Sunday in response to falling oil prices and punishing
sanctions arising from the country’s disputed nuclear program.
Rouhani proposed a
general budget of 8,400 trillion rials ($312.13 billion at the official
exchange rate) for the Iranian fiscal year starting March 20, 2015. This
includes the entire the sprawling public sector.
.
A smaller government budget, part of the larger general budget, was set at 2,200 trillion rials.
These
are based on an oil price of $70, as opposed to $100 this year, Rouhani
said. Oil has fallen some 40 percent since June to under $70 on Friday.
.
"The budget is drafted
with a cautious eye to the oil prices,” Rouhani said in a speech to
parliament broadcast live on state television. “The current situation
demands a more subtle and realistic approach to (the) budget draft.”
.
The
2015 general budget will be six percent above this year’s, Rouhani
said, although inflation means this will be a cut in real terms and will
tighten spending in some areas.
.
Yet
defense expenditure will rise 33.5 percent to about 282 trillion rials,
most of which will be assigned to the elite Revolutionary Guards. The
Guards' budget will increase by about half to 174 trillion rials.
.
Iran is stockpiling rockets, missiles and other conventional weapons to deter what it sees as threats from Israel,
the United States and Sunni Muslim militants in the Middle East,
despite pursuing a diplomatic solution to its nuclear dispute with the
West.
.
Nuclear talks between Iran
and six powers have been extended until June. In the meantime, Iran can
still access $700 million per month of frozen oil revenue held abroad.
.
Iran hopes to meet an oil-related budget shortfall this year by increasing non-oil exports.
.
It
will also dip into an oil revenue reserve fund, which Rouhani's
predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is said to have drained to implement his
populist agenda.
.
Elected
by a landslide and in office since August 2013, Rouhani claimed victory
in curbing inflation, which has fallen to around 20 percent from more
than 40 percent 17 month ago. Rouhani has proposed a 14 percent wage
hike for public employees.
.
Iran’s economy has shrunk a cumulative 8.6 percent in the past two fiscal years, the Institute of International Finance (IIF) estimates.
.
Brent Crude ended Friday at $69.07, down 40 percent from June’s 2014 high of $115.06. [O/R]
According
to official Iranian figures, the country produces 2.7 million barrels
of oil per day, of which 1.4 million barrels are exported.
