DM Calls Islamic Revolution Source of Inspiration for Regional Uprisings
TEHRAN (FNA)- The growing wave of Islamic awakening in the Middle-East, North of Africa and other parts of the Muslim world is inspired by Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, the Iranian Defense Minister underlined on Monday.
"The wave of the Islamic awakening (in region) is under the influence of the late Imam (Khomeini)'s pure and revolutionary thoughts that have penetrated deep into the heart and soul of the oppressed and Muslim nations," Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said, addressing the Interior Ministry directors and managers here in Tehran on Monday on the threshold of the demise anniversary of the late Founder of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini.
"We are witnessing the results and fruits of such thoughts in the regional Muslim nation's quest for freedom, justice and their confrontation against oppression," Vahidi reiterated.
Imam Khomeini passed away on June 3, 1989, ten years after leading the Islamic Revolution that put an end to the Pahlavi regime in 1979
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has on several occasions also underscored the profound and vast influence of Iran's Islamic Revolution on the growing wave of Islamic awakening in the region.
"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 in April.
"The more the people's determination, faith and readiness for sacrifice grows, 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-long 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 also erupted in Libya, Yemen and Bahrain, while other anti-government unrests are spreading in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and Algeria.
