IRGC commander: Nowhere secure for US-led west

Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami warned that the US and its allies can no more feel secure in any part of the Muslim world since the balance of power now tilts towards Muslims."There is no more any secure place for the US and its puppets and allies," Salami said on Tuesday, adding, "They do not dare to be present in the Islamic territories and they are forced to travel secretly." He also referred to the recent developments in the Middle-East and North Africa following the popular uprisings in those regions, and said, "The appearance of the Muslim world has changed and the balance of power now leans towards Muslims." Salami underlined that Iran's Islamic Revolution has now spread to the entire world and popular uprisings against the West-backed tyrannical rulers of the world are growing and coming close to victory. His remarks came after Washington said that the US troops which have just started to pullout of Iraq may be deployed in Kuwait or another regional countries. Since the beginning of 2011, a wave of revolutions and anti-government uprisings has swept the region from the Middle-East to the North of Africa. In January, a revolution in Tunisia ended the 23-year ruling of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. In February, another Arab revolution led to the ouster of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak after three decades of his authoritarian rule. Other revolutions have also erupted in Libya, Yemen and Bahrain, while anti-government unrests have just started in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and Algeria. Political observers believe that people's uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, Jordan, Yemen and Libya are the result of growing "Islamic awakening" and vigilance in the Middle-Eastern countries which was sparked by the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
