A senior Iranian legislator underlined that the US cannot prevent Tehran from playing its influential role in the region through holding nuclear talks with the country.

"Given its interests in Iran, the Middle-East and the region, the US seeks to confront the growth and spread of the Islamic Republic of Iran's power and clout since the Islamic Revolution of Iran has struck abundant blows at the US in the past 35 years, undermining the United States' awe and clout in the region," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mohammad Hassan Asafari told FNA on Saturday.
Blasting Washington's double-standard behavior towards the world nations, he said, "The world should know that the Islamic Republic of Iran won't stop behind the walls of the nuclear negotiations and will pursue it, while also developing other aspects of its foreign policy."
Asafari said that Iran is following the Middle-East developments with much sensitivity now.
In relevant remarks in June, Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy General Alireza Tangsiri warned that the US and other enemies of Iran who have failed in their plots against the country are now trying to disturb security in the region to push back the Islamic Revolution.
"Today, our enemies led by the US have resorted to seeking excuses, fabricating deceitful and unreal images and undermining security to confront the influence of the Islamic Revolution," Tangsiri said in Tehran.
He underlined the necessity for maintaining unity and increasing knowledge and wisdom against enemies' plots which he said emerge in a new shape and form each day.
Many Iranian officials and military commanders have blamed the US and its regional allies for the recent insecurities in the countries neighboring Iran, specially in Iraq.
