The Leader Of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei Warns of US Plot to Hijack Regional Revolutions
The Leader Of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei cautioned that the US has initiated efforts to hijack popular uprisings in the region and derail the Islamic awakening in the Middle-East and North Africa.
“The United States does not do anything in the interests of regional nations. Whatever they have done so far has been against regional nations,” The Supreme Leader said, addressing a large crowd of Iranian people at the mausoleum of the late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, South of Tehran.
The Supreme Leader urged Muslim countries to remain vigilant in the face of the Western plots.
The Leader Of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei further underlined that Iran throws its weight behind all popular anti-US movements in the region.
“Our stance regarding these public movements is crystal clear. Anywhere there is a popular Islamic and anti-US movement, we support it,” The Supreme Leader said on Saturday.
“However, if we see that a movement is provoked by the US or Zionists, we will not support that movement. We support movements that are against the US and Zionism,” The Leader Of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei added.
“Anywhere the US or the Zionist regime (Israel) is involved … to topple a government or occupy a country, that is the point where we are against it,” The Leader Of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei reiterated.
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, then, erupted in Libya, Yemen and Bahrain, while other anti-government unrests have started in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and Algeria.
