Addressing large crowd of Friday Prayers worshippers on Tehran University Campus, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to the recent uprisings in the Middle-East and North Africa, and added that Arab nations can no longer tolerate dictators, tyrants or Western agents and spies.
"They are fed-up with suffering, inequality and backwardness…while [at the same time] reject extremism and sectarian violence," the Leader underscored.
Ayatollah Khamenei further said that as a result of the Islamic Awakening in the Middle East and North Africa the people's voice has been heard for the first time and all revolutionary countries have voted in favor of Muslim figures while rejecting Zionism and dictators.
The Leader said even young intellectuals demonstrating in Washington, London, Madrid and Athens were inspired by what happened in Egypt's Liberation Square.
Several European countries, including Spain, Greece, France and Britain have thus far witnessed similar massive protests against their governments' policies.
Since the start of 2011, the region has witnessed a growing wave of popular protests resulted from the people's growing awareness and vigilance.
Tunisia saw the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in a popular revolution in January, which was soon followed by a revolution which toppled Hosni Mubarak in Egypt in February.
Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Libya have since been the scene of protests against their totalitarian rulers, who have resorted to brutal crackdown on demonstrations to silence their critics.
While Libya celebrated the victory of its revolution after the death of the country's dictator, Muammar Qaddafi, in October, uprisings continue in several other Muslim states.
