Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili stressed that the Islamic Awakening movement in the region has provided a great chance and a unique opportunity for Muslim states.
Speaking at a meeting with Libyan Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Ashur Bin Khayal here in Tehran on Wednesday, Jalili reiterated that the growing waves of Islamic awakening has posed "a threat to the Zionist regime of Israel".
"We can be hopeful about achieving huge success against enemies through integrating the capacities of Islamic nations and strengthening their wills," Jalili noted.
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.
Libya was the third country touched by the Islamic Awakening. Libyans also embraced victory after months of bloody campaign against the country's dictator, Muammar al-Qaddafi.
Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, 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 Yemen, although the people have toppled the dictator and elected a president, the revolution still continues as allies and family members of the former dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, still hold key posts in the country and have not been brought to justice.
