"Even those countries which seek to impose sanctions against Iran are afraid of the inefficiency of this lever and Iran's reaction," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh told FNA.

"Even some pragmatics who oppose Iran's progress in the nuclear field are now arguing for the recognition of Iran as a nuclear power and start of interaction with Tehran based on this very reality," Falahatpisheh added.

Referring to the US officials' attempts to integrate accusations against Iran in a bid to continue the sanctions policy against the country, he reiterated that Iran's achievements have shown that the country's nuclear program has now reached the point of no return and the western states should accept this reality.

The West had in the past imposed sanctions on Iran as preemptive measures but Iran's progress in the nuclear field has now made such measures grow pale and become futile, the lawmaker stressed.
