TEHRAN – Chairman of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee says the Europeans have shown great determination to cooperate with Iran, but their ability to do so is still in question.

“The Europeans feel that if they react negatively to the participative approach of the Iranians, the Iran-Europe relations will enter a challenging atmosphere which by no means would be to their benefits,” ICANA on Tuesday quoted Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh as saying.

Falahatpisheh further said European countries regard Iran as the “island of stability” in the Middle East, which can prevent the deterioration of the situation in the region.
