Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in Tehran on Wednesday during a meeting with a number of women who participated in the World Conference on Women and Islamic Awakening.
More than 1000 female scholars and intellectuals from 85 countries attended the two-day conference, which opened in Tehran on Tuesday.
He pointed to the Islamic Awakening occurring in the region and said that the movement can change the course of history if “perils and blights” are dealt with properly.
“The arrogant powers, led by the United States and Zionism, which have been surprised by this great movement, are doing their utmost to contain the movement and ride on waves,” he stated.
In addition, the Leader highlighted the role of women in the Islamic Awakening movement and said that increased presence of women will undoubtedly result in numerous victories for Muslim nations.
Prior to the Leader’s address, a number of Palestinian, Egyptian, Tunisian, Bahraini, Lebanese, Libyan, Yemeni, Azerbaijani, and Iraqi women delivered speeches in which they expressed their views about the Islamic Awakening and popular uprisings occurring in the region.
