To the best of my knowledge the civil unrest was surrounding the election fraud of their president (aka, their civil secular leader---at least in name). It wasn't in protest of the "Supreme Leader" (aka, their real leader). The theocracy wasn't being challenged, only the secular arm of their government.

I do agree with you though that the unrest in Iran is a good sign for democracy in Iran...and is a good example pointing out how Iran may not always be a backwards theocracy someday in the future.
