Supreme Leader Advises Regional Nations Not to Underestimate Enemies

The Leader of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei advised the regional people who have gained victory in their popular uprisings against their tyrannical rulers to keep vigilant against enemies’ plots.
“Becoming too proud, assuming enemies as ignorant, trusting the enemy, feeling too much pride and underestimating the enemy are amongst the biggest dangers facing the regional nations,”e Leader of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei said, addressing the First International Conference on Islamic Awakening in Tehran on Saturday.

The Supreme leader cautioned that “the West attempts to continue its hegemony over the countries using the power leverage”, and said the brave and young elites can play a very effective role in obviating the dangers.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei warned about enemies’ plots to weaken the regional countries, and said, “In case enemies fail in their tactics, they will try to foment internal war among the tribes, races and parties and pressure countries by imposing economic sanctions and blocking their assets.”

Since the beginning of 2011, the Muslim world has witnessed popular uprisings and revolutions similar to what happened in Iran in 1979. Tunisia saw the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in a popular revolution in January, which was soon followed by a revolution which toppled Hosni Mubarak in Egypt in February.

Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Yemen have since been the scene of protests against their totalitarian rulers, who have resorted to brutal crackdown on demonstrations to silence their critics.

Bahrain and Yemen, however, have experienced the deadliest clashes, while in Bahrain the military intervention of the Saudi-led forces from the neighboring Arab states has further fueled the crisis in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom.
