Official Terms Iran's Islamic Revolution Role Model for Regional Nations
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian foreign ministry official reiterated that Iran's Islamic Revolution led by the Late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, serves as a role model for the regional and world nations in their fight against the tyranny of their rulers.
"What is said about Iran's Islamic Revolution as a source of inspiration for the Islamic Awakening in the region has resulted from the fact that Iran sets a role model for the regional countries," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said on Saturday.
Mehman-Parast also pointed to the different analyses presented about the current regional conditions and the recent uprisings in the Middle-East and Africa, and underlined that the West has no major involvement or an influential role in these developments.
"Some people have stated that these moves happen within a plot hatched by the US and the big powers, but this is not true," he added.
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.
In Libya, while the euphoric Libyan revolutionaries seized control of most of Tripoli on August 22 in a lightning advance, they are still inches away from final victory.
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 in April.
