Iran's parliament has approved a 1.5 million dollar budget to counter destabilization measures by the United States, which last year labeled the Islamic regime part of an "axis of evil".
The allocation was adopted during the parliament members discussion of the government's budget for March 2003-4, according to IRNA news agency.
The money will be used "to lodge protests against the United States with international courts and inform domestic and foreign public opinion of the US cultural invasion and its violations of the UN Charter", the official news agency said. (Albawaba.com)
