Though officials say the transaction took place about a year ago, Israel and the U.S. haven't publicized it

Does this mean the regime has figured out that the olive branch didn't work? Both sides of their strategy have failed. Iran has not backed down, nor have the Chinese and Russians come on board for strict sanctions. Check and mate to the wizards of smart in the White House.

Radar-The guy from MASH?

I'm not so sure about this, the Iranian radars are not up to standards, so why would Syria accept it?

Such a deal would be a violation of a 2007 United Nations Security Council resolution that forbids Iran from transferring, selling, or supplying arms or related material. according to http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/iran-supplied-syria-with-radar-system-to-thwart-surprise-israel-attack-1.299350

This might be a non-event.
