West loser of rift over Iran N-program

A senior Iranian lawmaker says Western countries, particularly the United States, are the losers in the dispute over Iran’s nuclear energy program.

According to Press TV, Chairman of the Majlis Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Wednesday “In the nuclear game, Iran reached all its goals including enrichment and access to nuclear know-how but the US and Western countries did not attain their objectives, which was the suspension of enrichment in Iran. So, our country was the winner of this big game.”
He added that Western countries would one day face no option but to accept Iran’s nuclear realities.
The legislator said countries which are currently playing a role in imposing sanctions against Iran over its nuclear energy program had pledged to supply more than 20,000 megawatts nuclear energy to the country before the Islamic Revolution, adding “This shows that the US and West’s nuclear issue with Iran is a political debate.”
Boroujerdi pointed out despite broad sanctions, the Islamic establishment made its decision to proceed with the path of nuclear energy activities.
The lawmaker’s remarks came a day after Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Fereydoun Abbasi said the Islamic Republic would not stop enriching uranium for its nuclear energy program.
