Jalili: West Intends to Hijack Regional Revolutions
TEHRAN, April 25 (FNA)- Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili blasted the western policies on the popular uprisings in the region, and cautioned that the western powers have hatched plots to derail and hijack the ongoing movements and revolutions in the regional states.
Addressing a gathering of Iranian diplomats here in Tehran on Sunday, Jalili said that the western states are harmed by the growing waves of Islamic awakening and people's role in the current developments in the region, and warned that the West is seeking to derail these popular movements.
He blasted the western powers' false claims about defending human rights, and lashed out at the West's double standard attitudes towards the violation of human rights in the region, specially in Bahrain.
On Saturday, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei voiced confidence about the desirable outcomes of the current uprisings in the region.
"Thanks to Islam and Islamic Revolution, a public Islamic awakening has happened in the region today, which will definitely yield its results as it has already yielded its results in certain points," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a group of Iranian people here in Tehran.
Ayatollah Khamenei assured that "this movement will eventually serve the interests of the people of the region in future".
In recent months, a wave of revolutions and anti-government uprisings has swept the Arab world.
In January, a revolution in Tunisia ended the 23-year ruling of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
In February, another Arab revolution led to the ouster of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak after three decades of his authoritarian rule.
Other revolutions are erupting in Libya, Yemen and Bahrain, while other anti-government unrests have swept Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and Algeria.
