Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani says the United States cannot change the course of the popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa.
Larijani said on Saturday that the popular uprisings have “turned a new page” and “will change the situation in the region,” IRNA reported. He stressed that the US and Israel's efforts to change the course of the uprisings would be ineffective.
“The recent events in the region are so deep that the Americans cannot change the situation. They should accept that the regional nations want democracy,” Larijani said.
The Iranian Parliament speaker stressed that Iran should continue its “duty” to defend the nations against what he called “a modern dictatorship.”
Larijani further called on international bodies to “remove their earplugs and hear the voice of the people.”
Many countries in the Middle East and North Africa, including Bahrain, Yemen and Libya, have recently witnessed massive protests against their autocratic regimes.
The protests have been inspired by revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt earlier this year which ended the long rule of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and Hosni Mubarak respectively.
