Are the Muslim uprisings a result of Arab distaste for the United States and Israel? According to this news item from Iran’s state-run Kayhan, Iran’s leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has made the unlikely claim that while most of the Muslim uprisings are against the U.S. and Israel – the uprising in Syria is a plot instigated by the ‘Global Arrogance.’
The news item from Kayhan says in part:
The essence of the Islamic awakening is an anti-Zionist and anti-U.S. movement,” Ayatollah Khamenei said. “The Islamic awakening is a movement on the path of the prophets, and through vigilance, Muslim nations and the great nation of Iran will prevent the Americans and Zionists from sowing discord and other plots and derailing or hijacking this magnificent movement,” the Leader said.
The great Islamic awakening in Egypt, Tunisia and other countries reflects the cruel and humiliating balance that the expansionist West and its puppet rulers had imposed on nations in the region over the span of the last 150 years. Now this has been upset, giving rise to a new chapter in region’s history,” Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized.or hijacking this magnificent movement.”
Referring to recent developments in Syria, the Leader stressed that the U.S. was attempting to incite trouble and disorder against Damascus by seeking to simulate the uprisings that took place in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Libya in Syria.
Describing Syria as the frontline state in resistance to the Zionist regime, the Leader said, “But the nature of developments in Syria is different from events in other countries,” noting that the involvement of U.S. and the occupying regime of Israel is evident.
