other energy-related products.
In the budget bill prepared for Iran’s next calendar year (beginning late March) an average 33% is designated for energy-related products.

On the other hand, another MP Alireza Mahjoub expressed concerns on the consequences of increasing oil-related products prices.

If you want to take, take it all at once,” he said, lashing at the false statistics stated in Rouhani’s budget plan.
