Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei stated that recent uprisings in North Africa and other Muslim countries signify the impacts of the Islamic awakening inspired by the Islamic Revolution in Iran.

"The arrogant front, led by the United States, is well aware that Iran's Islamic Revolution is the role model for these popular movements," Ayatollah Khamenei said on Thursday.

The Leader made the remarks during a visit to an exhibition showcasing the achievements and services of Information Ministry in Tehran.

His eminence emphasized that while arrogant powers are making efforts to portray this model (Islamic Revolution) as "an unsuccessful and failed experience," the magnificence of millions of people participating in February 11 march, celebrating the anniversary of the victory of the revolution, has frustrated them.

The Leader further reiterated the need for intelligence services to exercise vigilance in the wake of recent developments in the Middle East and North Africa.

"The current developments in the region will definitely influence future events across the globe, thus these events should be actively monitored and their diverse aspects should be closely studied," Ayatollah Khamenei noted.

During his visit, Ayatollah Khamenei also hailed Iran's achievements in the field of security and intelligence and praised the Intelligence Ministry personnel for being fully home-grown and not taking leads from any foreign intelligence services.
