Iran's de facto ruler Ayatollah Khamenei said in April 2011 that "Thanks to Islam and the Islamic Revolution, a public Islamic awakening has happened in the region today, which will definitely yield its results as it has already yielded its results on certain points”
The recent uprisings in the Arab world have received a lot of support from all over the globe.
Iran too has been lauding the revolutions in Arab countries, albeit for different reasons than the West.
Whereas the West clearly hopes that democratic processes could replace the authoritarian regimes, Iran has perceived the wave of uprisings as part of the influence of the Iranian Revolution.

In other words the Middle East is currently in the midst of a second Islamic revolution.
Many Iranian leaders see the current developments as evidence for their belief in the imminent return of the Mahdi. This belief also increasingly influences Iranian government policies.
Examples are the show of military force and the reported progress in the nuclear, missile and space programs of the Islamic Republic.
Another sign of Iranian self-confidence is the increasing rhetoric vis-a-vis the West and Israel and the interference in the affairs of Arab countries.
Some background information on the Iranian Islamic revolution:
The first Iranian or Islamic Revolution took place in 1979 and since then the country has been ruled according to Islamic sharia law.

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has unveiled underground ballistic missile silos on the first day of the Great Prophet 6 military maneuver.
"The silos are a part of the swift reaction unit of the [IRGC] missile brigade; missiles are stored vertically, ready to be launched against pre-determined targets," Fars News Agency quoted the IRGC spokesman in charge of the drills, General Asghar Qelich-Khani, as saying on Monday.
Qelich-Khani said the country has been using domestically-built missile silos for fifteen years and added that the newer generation silos are operational from a launch control center located far from the launch pads.
The main advantage of missile silos is the reduced launch time as the weapons need not be moved or aligned prior to launch.
On Sunday, Commander of the Aerospace Division of the IRGC Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh short-, medium- and long-range missiles, namely Khalij Fars (Persian Gulf), Sejjil (Baked Clay), Fateh (Conqueror), Qiam (Rising), Shahab-1 and Shahab-2 missiles would be fired during the war games.
Hajizadeh stressed that Great Prophet 6 maneuver has completely defensive objectives and will be staged with the message of "peace and friendship."
IRGC's naval, air and ground forces staged the Great Prophet 5 military drill in the Persian Gulf in April 2010.
