Imam Khamenei: Regional Popular Uprisings of Islamic Roots, Identity
Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei stressed Wednesday that "popular uprisings and revolutions in the region are backed by deep roots in Islam and Islamic identity."
In a meeting with ambassadors of the Iran and foreign ministers, Imam Khamenei confirmed that "the great movement of nations signifies that they are awake, and based on massive and unquestionable realities this awakening enjoys Islamic background."
"Some believe that the US is behind the current uprisings in the Arab states just like those who believed that the US was behind the Islamic revolution 30 years ago. It proved not right," Imam Khamenei added.
Noting that "the Islamist parties' victory in the recent and upcoming elections in the regional countries forms another sign of the Islamic nature of the regional revolutions," His Eminence asserted that "developments in the world show that the political alignment is experiencing essential change."
He further called on the Iranian diplomacy apparatus to closely monitor the ongoing development.
Imam Khamenei also criticized "US for adopting a double-standard approach toward the developments occurring in Egypt and other countries," adding that "any popular, democratic, and patriotic person who comes to power in a country will definitely oppose the United States and the Zionist regime."
