The Iranian president has thanked Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei for giving his blessing to withdraw one million euros from the National Development Fund.
The funding will be used to fight the coronavirus, tackle the consequences of the epidemic and better manage the national campaign against the disease.
Following the Leader’s approval, President Hassan Rouhani ordered the head of the country’s Plan and Budget Organization to act accordingly.
The government of President Rouhani is battling against the spread of the novel coronavirus while the country is still under the United States’ unilateral sanctions.
