An Iranian MP says the White House has failed in using both economic sanctions and the threat of military strike as tools against Iran.

Member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Majlis, Reza Talaei-Nik, said the vigilance of the Iranian nation and its reliance on the high position of supreme jurisprudence are factors in the Islamic Republic's victory in the face of pressures and conspiracies of the enemies over the past 28 years.

Referring to the statements of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in the Friday prayers sermons, Talaei-Nik said, "The vigilant and united people of Iran support the officials in the management of preemptive and defensive measures against the enemies' plots."

The Iranian parliamentarian noted that the Islamic Republic has developed its potential and power to curb any hostile actions against the country.

"Given the failure of their anti-Iran attempts, the Untied States and the Zionist regime have resorted to a combination of strategies to confront the Islamic Republic," he added.

Talaei-Nik elaborated that White House officials have failed to attain their goals through various tactics such as the threat of military strike, economic sanctions, psychological war or persuasion of Iran to move in line with US policies in the region.
