A senior Iranian lawmaker says Washington’s military domination in the world has come to an end.
“If the US had had the power, it would have achieved victory in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. So, the US’ military hegemony in the world has come to an end, and today is the time when the Iranian nation’s ideas are overcoming America’s blustering,” deputy chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Majlis Mansour Haqiqatpour said on Saturday.
He pointed to the recent warmongering rhetoric by US Secretary of State John Kerry against Iran and said “the days of such threadbare military threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran are past.”
The US’ hollow military might is no match for the Iranian nation’s will, the parliamentarian underscored.

“Iran’s nuclear program has not made the Middle East insecure; rather, it is the US weapons that have jeopardized the Mideast security,” he said, adding that Iran's nuclear energy program is based upon nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) regulations.

Speaking to Al-Arabiya on Thursday, Kerry said if Iran resumes uranium enrichment beyond the five-percent level, “then the military option that is available to the United States is ready and prepared to do what it would have to do.”

Kerry’s remarks came just days after Iran and the five permanent members of the Security Council - Russia, China, France, Britain, and the US - plus Germany started to implement a nuclear deal they had reached in the Swiss city of Geneva on November 24, 2013.

On January 12, Iran and the Sextet of powers agreed on January 20 as the date to start putting into force the interim nuclear deal aimed at setting the stage for the full resolution of the decade-old standoff over Tehran’s nuclear energy program.

Under the deal, Iran would take the confidence-building measure of limiting its nuclear enrichment to five percent for six-months and in return it would be provided with partial sanctions relief.
