Presidential Aide: Islamic Awakening Shows Failure of West's Intimidation Policy
TEHRAN (FNA)- Popular uprisings resulted from the growing wave of Islamic awakening in the region display that the West's and Israel's policy of intimidation has failed, an advisor to the Iranian president stressed on Sunday.
Addressing a ceremony to mark the 29th anniversary of the abduction of four Iranian diplomats by Israeli agents in Lebanon in 1982, Iranian President's Advisor for Women and Family Affairs Maryam Mojtahedzadeh said the West and the Zionist regime have made a strategic mistake since they aimed to prevent Islamic awakening and popular uprisings against their interests and puppet regimes through the policy of intimidation, but now they see that their policy has failed.
"They (Israel and the West) assumed that they can make nations disappointed through mass killings and intimidation, but after decades of assassinations and occupation they have faced an unprecedented Islamic and human awakening with people standing at its heart," Mojtahedzadeh said.
"This trend heralds the start of an end to the Zionist regime and the US interests," she added.
She pointed to Israel's long record in violation of human rights, and described the regime as a "security and psychological threat" to the world and entire humanity.
Her remarks came as uprisings continue in the Middle-East and North Africa. Tunisia was the first country to see the overthrow of its autocratic ruler, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, in a revolution in January. Egyptians followed suit and toppled Hosni Mubarak in Egypt in February.
Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Yemen have since been the scene of protests against their totalitarian rulers, who have resorted to brutal crackdown on demonstrations to silence their critics.
Bahrain and Yemen, however, have experienced the deadliest clashes, while in Bahrain the military intervention of the Saudi-led forces from the neighboring Arab states has further fueled the crisis in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom.
