Rouhani said Sunday that last month's nuclear deal with world powers has already boosted the country's economy, as he continues a push to convince skeptics of the benefits brought by the pact's partial sanctions relief. The proposed budget covers Iran's fiscal year that starts March 21, 2014. (AP Photo/Presidency Office, Rouzbeh Jadidoleslam)
