Iran's Parliament approves bill to strengthen Armed Forces for confrontation with Israel
Committee spokesman Ebrahim Rezaei announced that the proposal, titled “Strengthening the Defensive Capacity of the Armed Forces in Confronting the Crimes and Aggressions of the Zionist Regime,” was passed in the presence of senior officials from the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces General Staff, the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, and the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC). The bill has now been referred to the Commission’s Defense Subcommittee for further review.
During the session, Iran's Deputy Defense Minister emphasized that the ministry is seeking expanded budgetary resources to meet the country’s defense requirements.
The legislation follows a 12-day war of aggression launched by Israel on June 13, during which Iranian military and civilian sites were targeted in a series of airstrikes. The attacks resulted in the martyrdom of over 1,000 Iranians, including senior commanders and nuclear scientists.
In response, Iran launched Operation True Promise III, a sweeping counteroffensive that struck critical military, intelligence, and industrial infrastructure across the occupied territories.
