NCRI – The Iranian regime is frightened by the effects of uprisings in the region, Guardian wrote on 27 May, 2011.
“Iran welcomed the fall of its old enemy, Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak. But the uprising now threatening its key Arab ally, the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad, is a different matter altogether. Worse still, the thought that the region’s revolutionary mood may inspire Iran’s own much-bludgeoned green opposition to rise again inspires real fear,” Guardian said.
Pointing out the impact that regional uprisings have had in intensifying mullahs’ regime crises, Guardian added: “Amid the Middle East maelstrom, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei – Tehran’s terrible twins – suddenly look off balance, vulnerable, and at odds.”
Guardian added that the stakes are undoubtedly highfor the Iranian regime. Importance of Syria for the Iranian regime as a “prime conduit to Hezbollah in Lebanon”, and as a base for Hamas leaders is not negligible.
