TEHRAN (Press TV) -- A senior Iranian lawmaker said on Monday the United States seeks to prolong "the contained crisis” in the Middle East.
"They are of the opinion that the U.S. policy is to perpetuate the contained crisis in the region. The democratic principle of ‘one person, one vote’ must be properly observed in all regional countries including Bahrain,” chairman of parliament's Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, said.
