Western capitalism collapsing - Iran VP

Iran: Iran’s Vice President for Parliamentary Affairs Mohammad Reza Mir-Tajeddini says the ongoing popular uprisings across the world show that the capitalist system of the West and the US is on the verge of collapse.

Following the spring of Islamic Awakening in the Middle East and North Africa, popular uprisings swept across the US and Europe as well, Mir-Tajeddini said on Sunday.

He added that similar events to what happened in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia are also going to emerge in Western countries and the US, IRNA reported.

The vice president stated that popular uprisings in the world have been influenced by the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the resistance of Lebanon’s Hezbollah and the struggle of the Palestinians against bullying powers and criminal Zionists (Israelis). The recent Islamic Awakening in the Middle East and North Africa has been a source of independence and self-rule for the Muslim nations of the region. The United States and its European allies have been concerned about their diminishing influence and control over the region as decades long autocracies loyal to the West began to crumble one after another.
