“The Americans unwillingly played a key role in introducing the Islamic Republic as an inspiring example for [other] nations,” Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi said at a conference in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Sunday.Washington's pressures on Iran over its peaceful nuclear activities and the failure of US-backed sanctions against the Islamic Republic, demonstrated the “superb power of the Islamic system” to Middle Eastern nations, he added.  Naqdi elaborated on the West's reaction towards the wave of Islamic awakening in the region, saying global arrogance at first tired to quell the region's movements through “crackdown and psychological war.”  

The West then tried to stage an Arab-Iranian and Sunni-Shia war to divert the path of the movements. However, Islamic awakening has gathered strength, he pointed out. “The Americans are now trying to gain more information about the aspects of the regional nations' movements by delaying their (regional nations') triumph,” the senior Iranian commander warned. Naqdi further cautioned that at the same time the US attempts to infiltrate its mercenaries and former agents of corrupt regimes, who pretend to have been defected from the dictators, into the revolutionaries' front in an attempt to hijack the nations' uprisings.
