Despite the big powers' efforts to weaken Iran's effective role in the region, Iran has become a stronghold against terrorism, Ruben Safrastyan, director of the Institute of Oriental Studies and full member of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences added.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he described the US move to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPAO) as a big mistake that will lead to Washington's isolation.
US President Donald Trump announced on May 8 that Washington would leave Iran nuclear deal and reinstate nuclear sanctions on Iran.
This is while most world powers, including Russia, China, and the European Union have repeatedly stressed that keeping the deal is in the interest of world peace and security.
