Commander Stresses Islamic Revolution's Influence on Region's Developments
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday said that the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran has left profound effects on developments in the region.
"Whether the West believes it or not, all developments and events in the region are inspired by the Iranian Islamic Revolution," Commander of the IRGC's Quds Force Major General Qassem Suleimani said, addressing Iranian parliamentarians.
He also underscored the Islamic nature of the popular uprisings in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and the other regional states, and blasted the efforts made by the West to introduce these popular movements as national uprisings in pursuit of material demands with no Islamic nature.
The renowned IRGC commander made the remarks in a ceremony held to mark the 29th anniversary of the liberation of the Iranian city of Khorramshahr from Iraq.
Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's forces captured the port city of Khorramshahr on October 26, 1980 in a surprise attack on the early days of Iraqi-imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) but Iranian forces liberated the city on 3rd of Khordad (May 24, 1982) in a massive military operation named 'Beit-al-Moqaddas'.
On Monday, IRGC's top commander Major General Ali Jafari also underlined that revolutions and popular uprisings sweeping the Middle-East and North Africa are all offshoots of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Major General Jafari said that the regional people were inspired by the Iranian nation's resistance against the arrogant powers and the world's military powers, and "this resistance (of the Iranians) was reinvigorated through reliance on God and martyrdom-loving".
Earlier this month, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei had also 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.
"The more the people's determination, faith and readiness for sacrifice grows, the higher the chances of victory will be," the Leader continued.
