Provider footnote: The figures of Iran from 2012 have been revised in this edition of the database, based on more detailed information on the Iranian state budget. The figures from 2012 do include spending on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and given the comparable level of figures between the two sources, it is most likely that figures for earlier years, from the Iranian Central Bank, also include the IRGC.

SIPRI military expenditure in current US dollars. This measures nominal resource inputs, not military capability; exchange-rate and inflation changes affect comparisons over time. Provider footnote: The figures of Iran from 2012 have been revised in this edition of the database, based on more detailed information on the Iranian state budget. The figures from 2012 do include spending on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and given the comparable level of figures between the two sources, it is most likely that figures for earlier years, from the Iranian Central Bank, also include the IRGC.
