Larijani: Iran's Support for Regional Uprisings Result of Imam Khomeini's Teachings

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani stressed that the support voiced by the Iranian people for the regional uprisings and revolutions against tyrannical rulers is among the main principles underlined in the teachings of the Late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini.
"The Iranian nation's serious support for the regional uprisings is based on Imam Khomeini's thoughts," Larijani said at the beginning of an open session of the parliament on Wednesday.

He further stated that Iran's strong support for the regional uprisings has angered the US and the West.

Campaign against the world arrogant and oppressive powers, including the US and the Zionists, resistance against the bullying powers, support for freedom movements and efforts to strengthen unity among the Islamic Ummah are among the important issues stressed in Imam Khomeini's will, Larijani reiterated.

In relevant remarks on Tuesday, a senior Iraqi legislator praised the regional nations for their resistance against their tyrannical rulers, and reiterated that revolutions and popular uprisings sweeping the region have not only been inspired, but also sparked by Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution and Imam Khomeini.

"The spirit of resistance, Islam and awakening were among the causes of the awakening moves in the regional countries which were sparked by the message of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Imam Khomeini," Head of the Iraqi parliament's Foreign Policy Commission Sheikh Homam Hamoudi said addressing the 'International Conference on Islamic Awakening' here in Tehran.

Earlier, 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 on Saturday.

"The more the people's determination, faith and readiness for sacrifice grows, the higher the chances of victory will be," the Leader continued.
