"The United States and Europe must be answerable to the Egyptian people for supporting a dictatorship for 30 years."
A high-ranking Iranian official says it has taken Hosni Mubarak and his American and European supporters 30 years to hear the voice of the Egyptian people. In an exclusive interview with Press TV on Friday, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili said,
"The United States and Europe must be answerable to the Egyptian people for supporting a dictatorship for 30 years." "The victory of the Egyptian Revolution coinciding with the victory of Iran's Islamic Revolution proved that 22 Bahman (February 11) is the day of triumph for regional nations and is the day of defeat for the US and the Zionist regime [of Israel]," he said.
