The protests in Iran may soon become bigger than the ones that took place in June over what people perceived as fraudulent elections. Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton has come out and said that unless the military becomes fragmented, thereby opening the door for weapons winding up in the hands of the people, a government overthrow is highly unlikely.
The flip side to that involves the potential for the United States and / or Israel to help facilitate that fragmentation with some form of support - either financial or communications capabilities. The problem with that prospect is the man who occupies the White House.
Krauthammer slams Obama over this, saying "This is a moment in history and he's missing it."
