(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei advised regional nations who have gained victory in their popular uprisings against their tyrannical rulers to keep vigilant against enemies' plots.
'Becoming too proud, assuming enemies as ignorant, trusting the enemy, feeling too much pride and underestimating the enemy are amongst the biggest dangers facing the regional nations,' Ayatollah Khamenei was quoted as saying in his address to the First International Conference on Islamic Awakening which has started in Tehran Saturday morning.
According to the official website of the conference (www.Islamic-awakening.ir), the Supreme Leader added, “The West attempts to continue its hegemony over the countries using the power leverage.'
He stressed that the brave and young elites could play a very effective role in obviating the dangers.
The Supreme Leader also warned against enemies' plots to weaken regional countries.
'In case enemies fail in their tactics, they will try to foment internal war among the tribes, races and parties and pressure countries by imposing economic sanctions and blocking their assets,' the website further quoted the Ayatollah.
It added that since the beginning of 2011, the Muslim world has witnessed popular uprisings and revolutions similar to what happened in Iran in 1979.
Tunisia witnessed 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 then been scenes of protests against their totalitarian rulers, who have resorted to brutal crackdown on demonstrations to silence their critics.
Bahrain and Yemen, however, have experienced the deadliest clashes, while in Bahrain the military intervention of the Saudi-led forces from the neighboring Arab states has further fueled the crisis in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom.
