1) It's Tor, not TOR.
2) The project is alive and kicking, check this blog to see for yourself: https://blog.torproject.org/
There's a lot of work to do on Tor, Vidalia, Torbutton (so much more than a proxy switcher, stop using Foxyproxy for Tor, FFS!) and the various bundles offered by the project. Translators are always welcome.
3) Lots of new clients (Iranian or otherwise) means a greater strain on the existing infrastructure. This is hardly 'revitalising' in a network in great need of bandwidth and exit nodes. Of course, dissidents using it is a good thing, it's part of why Tor exists; I'm just pointing out the inaccuracies in the article.
4) If you want to help the project, please dive in the code, donate or consider running an exit node.
