Iranian lawmakers have advised the US and its allies to accept Iran’s nuclear energy program and abandon their confrontational policy in favor of interaction with the Islamic Republic.

In a statement released on Sunday, 252 Iranian lawmakers said the US and its Western allies should accept the reality of Iran’s nuclear energy program and change their approach from confrontation to interaction.

The statement, issued ahead of the upcoming talks between Iran and the P5+1 (Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States plus Germany), added that “Iran’s nuclear train will never stop within framework of its peaceful goals.”

Iran and the P5+1 have agreed to hold the next round of talks in Kazakhstan on February 26. The last round of the negotiations was held in Moscow in June 2012.

Iranian lawmakers also advised the Iranian negotiation team to defend the Islamic Republic’s rights within the framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and in line with the regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The statement added that any agreement with the P5+1 during the upcoming talks should be based on safeguarding national rights and interests of Iran.

“The US has tried all psychological warfare methods including adoption of illegal resolutions and imposing transregional sanctions, and has received the response of the Iranian nation on the 34th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution; so continuation of this approach is like beating the air,” the statement said.

The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.

Over the false allegation, Washington and the European Union have imposed several rounds of illegal unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

Iran refutes the allegation and argues that as a signatory to the NPT and a member of the IAEA, it is entitled to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
