Iran Press/Iran news: In an exclusive interview with Iran Press correspondent, Behrouz Nemati, added, President Rouhani will tender next year's budget bill to Parliament on 16 December, and therefore the parliamentary session next Thursday has been canceled.
According to the Iranian parliament's internal rules, next year's budget bill should be handed over to the Majlis (parliament) by 6th December each year.
Senior MP Nemati said: "The Majlis is ready to receive the budget bill by 6th December deadline, but because of a parliamentary recess next week, when MPs will be visiting their constituencies, and because of President Rouhani's travels this week, we are ready to receive the budget bill on 16 December."
