Iran Views the Egyptian Revolution as the Direct Continuation of Khomeini's Revolution
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) IDF Lt. Col. (ret.) Michael Segall - Iran perceives the Egyptian revolution as the direct continuation of the Islamist revolution of Ayatollah Khomeini. In Tehran's view, the events in Egypt validate Iran's political doctrine, according to which "true Islam" is the only alternative to the decades-long American hegemony in the Middle East. Iran will exploit the current changes to advance its Islamic agenda in order to deepen Israel's isolation in the region and will try to bring about the termination of the peace treaties with Israel.
