When Syrian President Bashar Assad was in real danger of being ousted in Syria’s Civil War, in the first half of the last decade, both Iran and then Russia came to his rescue. He certainly owes them as well as Lebanon’s Iranian-proxy Hezbollah, gratitude for his survival. But international politics is an unsentimental business and now Russia and Iran are each pursuing its own interests in Syria, leading to tensions between Moscow and Tehran over their respective agendas in Damascus.
