A security crisis tends to consolidate power and dampen internal criticism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">\u201cSo in short: higher readiness and signaling are evident, but the real risk lies in political incentives and miscalculation rather than in a clearly defined operational timetable,\u201d the official posited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">At the same time, the U.S. and\/or Israel getting involved kinetically could give the regime a very opportunistic gift, allowing them to once again claim and show proof of a common enemy, its involvement in the uprisings, true or not, as well as distract from the ongoing unrest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph skip\">As day breaks across Iran, we could learn more about the extent of the protests roiling the country.
