Whether Assad is Iran's hand puppet or he was trying to rack up brownie points with the Muslim world by participating in the rocket attacks on Israel, he is now on notice that any assets* he uses in defending the Iranian presence in Syria will be targeted. Israel will not allow its cities to be targeted the way Iran is lobbing ballistic missiles at Riyadh from Yemen's territory almost a thousand miles away.

* The principal cost to Assad is not mainly the handfuls of men he loses from those SAM batteries, but the $100m worth of equipment that just went up in smoke.

I believe Trump has given Israel carte blanche regarding Iran.

This could get interesting. What’s Iran doing there, anyway?

If this is true, and Israel showed restraint on Syrian assets, then this may be something you can leverage in a resolution of matters.

Iran only answers to Baal and Dagon. Better known as Satan today.

The stage is now set for Saudi air force to fly cover for Israeli bombers that assault Bandar Shahpur (homeni) and destroy the refineries and crude shipping facilities.

Iran can not react in a meaningful way

Message to Assad. Doesn’t matter who you point the finger at it’s your responsibility no matter. You will realize the consequences if you do not address the issue.
