Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran is trying to provoke a Russia-US hot war in Syria
2017-04-14
An interesting take on the events
When you boil Syria down to its principal players, there are only three: Russia, the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. With Assad’s chemical attack, people have been misdirected from the reality by blaming the powerless Assad. But Assad doesn’t mvoe without direct Iranian permission. So, the real question is why did Iran launch a chemical weapons attack?

The answer is simple: Iran desperately needs Russia and the United States to get into a hot war in Syria so as to enable Iran to pick up the shattered pieces. In contrast, the United States and Russia desperately need each other to defeat Iran’s waxing neo-Safavidic Empire from stretching from Iran to the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
Not sure I'm going with this - if there's a hot war between Russia and USA in Syria,
there will be no pieces to pick up
