Tehran - Fars
Head of Iran\'s General Inspectorate Office Mostafa Pourmohammadi described Islamic Revolution as a source of inspiration for the Muslim people\'s resistance against the hegemonic powers, and said the Islamic Revolution has become the common cause and word of all Muslim nations throughout the world.\"Today the Islamic Revolution has turned into the common cause of the Islamic Ummah (nation),\" Pourmohammadi said Wednesday night. He reminded the enemies\' speculations that Iran\'s Islamic Revolution (1979) led by the Late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, would not last a long time, and said they thought that the Islamic Revolution will be entangled in certain problems that other similar revolutions had experienced, but time showed that \"our most important achievement is the continuation of the Islamic Revolution\". 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 popular and overall 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.
