“Despite US plots, we’re witnessing serious vigilance of the Egyptian youth and we are confident that they’ll turn this victory into further successes”
Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani warned against US schemes over Egypt, saying the leaders of the United States seek to “hijack and cripple” the revolution of the Egyptian people. “Despite the US plots, we are witnessing serious vigilance of the Egyptian youth and we are confident that they will turn this victory into further successes through their wisdom,” IRNA quoted Larijani as speaking to reporters on Sunday. He noted that the “great incident of the expulsion of a dictator from Egypt” coincided with the 32nd anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Larijani pointed out that a rally staged on Sunday by members of Iran's Majlis was a “symbolic move” to express support for the Egyptian people and their revolution that ended over three decades of former President Hosni Mubarak's dictatorship. He added that the move indicated that the Iranian nation would stand by the oppressed people in line with ideals of the Islamic Revolution and would resist against dictators in the region. Larijani criticized certain Western powers, particularly the US, for making efforts to divert the objectives of the Egyptian revolution and said their moves are aimed at maintaining the entity of Israel in the region. He noted that the policy change of regional countries has been engineered by the United States and said, “The US intends to cripple the Egyptian revolution.”Larijani: US Intends to Cripple Egypt’s Revolution
