Iran's parliament, also known as Majlis, voted on Tuesday to rapidly increase funds for the country's missile programme and Revolutionary Guards in response to U.S."adventurism" in the region.

A motion was passed to prioritise legislation "to confront terrorist and adventurist actions by the United States in the region," the Mizan Online website reported.

The motion was introduced in response to U.S. Senate passing new sanctions on Iran in June and mandates the government to allocate an additional 260 million dollars to the joint armed forces for the "development of the missile programme" and the same amount to the Revolutionary Guards' foreign operations wing, the Quds Force.

The motion sends a clear message to the Americans that Iran's parliament "will resist them with all its power", speaker Ali Larijani said.
