The language used by senior officials reveals more than a security policy. It reflects a profound fear that the country\u2019s mounting economic, social, and political crises could once again converge into a nationwide uprising.\u00a0The issue has become prominent across different factions of the regime. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf described the current confrontation as a \u201chybrid war,\u201d claiming that its objective was to create \u201cdisorder and unrest\u201d inside Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Judiciary Chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei issued an even more direct warning, saying that if anyone attempted to create \u201criots\u201d or \u201cdisorder,\u201d the response from the police, security and intelligence forces, as well as the judiciary, would be \u201cvery strong and decisive,\u201d adding that it would be harsher than in previous periods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">These statements point to a shared fear among the regime\u2019s factions: the possibility of another uprising.
