Israel extremely concerned about Arab revolts

Speaking during the Friday prayer sermon, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader said Israel was the most worried nation about the ongoing Arab revolts across the region. He called on the protesters in Egypt to follow in the footsteps of the Iranian Revolution that toppled the US backed Shah.

Speaking about the current unrest and demand for regime change in many Arab countries, Khamenei said it was “an Islamic awareness in connection with Iran's great Islamic Revolution.” He said these movements will eventually lead to the defeat of the United States.

Khamenei also said Hosni Mubarak was a companion and confident servant of Zionists, and Egypt under his rule has been unable to take a single step towards prosperity.    

The Supreme Leader’s remarks were received by cheering crowds of worshippers at Tehran University who chanted “Death to America! Death to Israel!”     

Iran supports the protests in Egypt and has warned the United States against interfering in Egyptian people’s popular movement to topple Mubarak.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been supreme leader of Iran since June 1989 when the Assembly of Experts appointed him to succeed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
