#1 "AQ will not accept dialog"
Ahem ... didn't we know this already - a thoudand times over? The only thing they will accept is a black flag flying over someone's country.

#2 An AQ-led "Yemen Spring" [GCC] which results in an Islamist takeover of Yemen + effec destabilizes the Sunni KSA will give Iran a better opportunity, albeit not a perfect one, to both close the SoH as well as isolate US-Allied Carrier + Amphib expeditionary forces to the Sea of Oman + beyond where these can be attacked by mass Iranian Air, Sub, + LRBM Milstrikes, to includ Nukes-WMDS iff Iran has any at the time.

Until it does dev its own nuclear arsenal, Iran intends to rely on Russia, China, Pakistani ICBMS, etc. + post-"Spring" Arab-Muslim NucProgs to deter or defend agz a US-Israeli air strike andor major ground war.
