“Countries like Iran have got a tremendous contribution to make. Iran has got the experiences of 32 years of revolution; some of it good, some of it not so good,” said Massoud Shadjareh in a Press TV interview.
“Both the positive and negative experiences are exactly what Egypt needs and others need at this moment,” he went on to say.
He also pointed to the recent revolutions and uprisings in the Arab world and insisted that “We all need to go and help to create this new environment.”
Shajareh further noted that the Islamic world should not wait to see what actions the Organization of the Islamic Countries (OIC) is going to take.
“OIC itself is going to go through a lot of changes, while these countries one by one are going to be taken by the people's power and ... we know that it will bring tremendous change to the whole region,” he noted.
In recent weeks, pro-democracy movements have been spreading across numerous Arab countries.
Last month in Tunisia, nationwide outrage at the government's suppressive policies sparked a massive revolution that ended the 23-year-long rule of its despotic President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and forced him to flee to Saudi Arabia.
On February 11, millions-strong nationwide revolution in Egypt, which started on January 25, ended the three-decade-long rule of US-backed dictator Hosni Mubarak.
Other pro-democracy uprisings have also flourished in Libya, Bahrain, Yemen, Algeria, Jordan and Oman, as more Arab countries are expected to engage in similar popular revolts.
