Tehran, Feb 9, IRNA � Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Ali Tayyebnia said Monday that the final decision on whether the subsidies of high-income Iranians have to be cut off or not has not been made yet and that the government and the parliament are mulling over the issue.
�Teyyebnia made the remarks while speaking to IRNA on the sidelines of a visit to the mausoleum of late Imam Khomeini during which he, his deputies and other managers of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance renewed allegiance to the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
