Palestinian Politician: Arab Uprisings Inspired by Iran's Islamic Revolution
TEHRAN (FNA)- The revolution and movement started by the Late Imam Khomeini in Iran decades ago has spread to the entire Arab world, a senior Palestinian politician said, adding that the growing waves of Islamic awakening and popular uprisings in the Middle-East and North Africa today are indications of the same fact.
"Arab uprisings are inspired by the Iranian nation's Islamic Revolution which was led by the late Imam Khomeini more than three decades ago," Head of Palestine's Islamic Council Mohammed Nimer Zaghmout told FNA on Wednesday.
He described the Islamic nature of the current uprisings in the Arab countries has modeled on the Islamic Republic's principles, and said, "The Islamic awakening which we witness in the Arab countries has modeled on the Iranian nation's Islamic Revolution."
Zaghmout reiterated that there reside many other similarities and indications which can prove that current Arab uprisings have been inspired by the Iranian revolution, and said, "Abundant analogies can be drawn between these revolutionary movements."
Since the beginning of 2011, the Muslim world has witnessed popular uprisings and revolutions similar to what happened in Iran in 1979. Tunisia saw the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in a popular revolution in January, which was soon followed by a revolution which 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.
In similar remarks in April, 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 waves 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 (some of) its results in certain points," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a group of Iranian people here in Tehran.
