 Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said that the main cause of the protests of the Tunisian and Egyptian nations was the humiliation they suffered due to their governments’ servitude to the United States.

He also described the developments in the Arab world as the “echoes of the voice of the Iranian nation.”“Today’s events in North Africa, Egypt, and Tunisia and some other countries have a specific meaning for us,” he said. This is the Islamic awakening that “was always talked about at the time of the victory of the great Islamic Revolution of Iran,” he added He also called these developments a “real earthquake”, adding that if the Egyptian nation leads their revolution to victory, they will make the United States suffer a “permanent defeat” in the Middle East.
