Iran's FM: Regional Uprisings Pursue Islamic Revolution's Causes
TEHRAN , May 3 (FNA)- Current uprisings in the region are moving in the same direction and pursuing the same goals and causes that Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution did, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said.
"Now that the people in the region have started rising, the future governments in the region will have popular roots and the arrogant powers' hegemony over the regional states will be unlikely in future," Salehi told FNA on Monday.
"This is a move exactly in the direction of the causes of the Islamic Revolution and opposite to the West's interests," Salehi noted,
Last week, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei underscored the profound and vast influence of Iran's Islamic Revolution on the growing wave of Islamic awakening in the region, and voiced confidence about the desirable outcomes of the current popular uprisings.
"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 on Saturday.
"The more the people's determination, faith and readiness for sacrifice grow, the higher the chances of victory will be," the Leader continued.
In recent months, a wave of revolutions and anti-government uprisings has been sweeping 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.
Since then, other revolutions have swept Libya, Yemen and Bahrain, while other anti-government unrests are erupting in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and Algeria.
