Iran's Parliament has approved spending $13.6 million to counter what it calls "plots and acts of meddling" by the United States. The Parliament's action is in response to the US administration, which has recently set aside $75 million for what it calls "advancing democracy in Iran".A commentary by Iran's state-run news agency said the US money is for conducting psychological warfare and funding what it calls "tools of espionage" against Iran. The Parliament has now approved a budget of almost $13.6 million in next year's Budget. It said the money will be spent to help foil plots and act of meddling by the US. It is not clear how the money will be spent.
