i think although iran has voiced its support for the 'peoples will', it would be quite hesitant to be very vocal in supporting the people in chance that they embolden their own people against the iranian government.
The last time the people spoke loudly in Iran after the elections last year, things got pretty nasty. so no, i dont think Iran has any business in any of this. It's a two edge sword for iran in the same way it is a two edge sword for many other countries, including the united states.
iran would and could have influence over lebanon because of the sizable shiites population there, as well as iraq, and possibly nth yemen, ... but i fail to see how they would have any sway on the egyptians demonstrations.
these demonstrations are almost faceless and leader-less. However, that could be a bad thing for a new government because the vision could fizzle out without a united approach led by a charismatic egyptian.
current word is that Baradei is not going to attend the 'million man march' for security concerns which may not go down well with the people since they are risking their lives for their own liberation
