Leader: Regional revolts anti-US in core

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei insists that the core of recent uprisings in regional countries has been anti-US and anti-Israel and quite different from foreign-based armed unrest in Syria.

“The essence of the Islamic awakening in the countries of the region is an anti-Zionist and anti-US movement,” Ayatollah Khamenei said on Thursday.

“The Islamic awakening of the regional nations is a movement on the path of the prophets; and through vigilance, Muslim nations and Iran's great nation will not allow the Americans and the Zionists to derail or hijack this magnificent movement by sowing discord and other plots,” the Leader said.

“The great Islamic awakening in Egypt, Tunisia and other countries demonstrates that the cruel and humiliating balance that the expansionist Westerners and puppet rulers had imposed on regional nations in the span of past 150 years has been upset, giving rise to a new chapter in the history of the region,” Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized.

The Leader also reiterated that the Iranian nation and its Islamic establishment would always support any justice-seeking and anti-imperialistic movement.

Ayatollah Khamenei underlined that any movement against the US and Zionism, as well as “any nation that rises against American international dictatorship and [its] domestic dictators” will be supported by the Islamic Republic.

Referring to the recent developments in Syria, the Leader stressed that the US was attempting to incite trouble and disorder against Damascus by making efforts to simulate in Syria the uprisings that took place in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Libya.

Describing Syria as the frontline state in the resistance against the 'Zionist regime' (Israel), the leader said, “But the nature of developments in Syria is different from events in other regional countries,” noting that the involvement of US and Israel in the recent unrests in Syria is evident.
