Iran's Military & Intelligence Budget Will Increase in The Next Year.

Iran's military & Intelligence budget for the next year (1393) will increase as follows.

1- The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:

Budget for year 1392 ==========> 36,896,523,000,000 Rial
Budget for year 1393 ==========> 44,566,686,000,000 Rial
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Nearly 20.7% increase


2- The Ministry of Intelligence Service:

Budget for year 1392 ==========> 11,381,063,000,000 Rial
Budget for year 1393 ==========> 13,674,270,000,000 Rial
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nearly 20.1% increase


3- The Regular Army:
Budget for year 1392 ==========> 34,446,164,000,000 Rial
Budget for year 1393 ==========> 51,085,584,000,000 Rial
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nearly 48.3% increase

As noted above, the Regular Army will have a massive increase in its budget in comparison with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the next year. The reason behind this might be enormous economic sanctions imposed by the international community on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its subset organizations. Through this change, the Islamic Regime might 1- try to bypass the sanctions to some degree or 2- portray an unrealistic image that Iran is decreasing the overall power of the Islamic revolutionary Guard Corps. The massive increase in the military and Intelligence budget might also shed light on the possible outcome of the nuclear negotiation. Those optimist politicians should pay more attention to this part of the story, when it comes to Iran's nuclear activity and Iran's presence in the Syrian civil war. However, we should bear in mind that due to the serious lack of transparency and accountability within the Islamic Regime, the real military & Intelligence budget numbers are much higher than what the Regime has revealed in the media.
