Eye of the Storm: The 'Iranization' of Syria
Islamic Republic of Iran's Theofascism Expanding..

"According to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad secular anti-imperialism, including Ba'athism, has failed to halt the advance of the American "Great Satan." Today, only militant Islamism can fill the gap left by the disintegration of the USSR and Communism as global challengers to "imperialist hegemony."
TEHERAN STRATEGISTS, working on the assumption that Israel and the Islamic Republic will clash at some point, regard Lebanon and Syria as part of the Iranian glacis. It was to secure Lebanon and Syria as strategic assets that Teheran launched its plan for the "Fertile Crescent."
The first phase of the plan consisted of an Iranian-sponsored campaign last year to cast suspicion on elements in the Syrian Ba'ath known for their opposition to Khomeinism.

I'd dispute the label "Iranization" in the title. Khomeinism, Islamism, Mullacracy, Arabization, Shiaism, yes to all. After all, the mentioned terms all have Arab/Islam origins. But there is hardly anything "Iranian" about Iran nowadays. The Mullahs and their mouthpieces hold and promote an Arab/Islam ideology and culture in Iran and elsewhere - they've done so for centuries.
