That would have Iran supporting both sides in the civil war among the insurgents, both Hezbollah and AlQ as well as Assad. Curious.

It may be the Iranians believe the Assad government is on the verge of collapse. If that happens and Syria is dominated by a Sunni regime it would create a national security nightmare for the mullahs. But Iran has played this game for a while. They've been shipping weapons and materiel to AQ in Afghanistan for years.

Assad himself has been holding off on bombing the Al Qaeda-linked rebels and has been bombing the moderate ones. This information just highlights that strategy.
