Issuing Tehran's strongest warning to date, a top Iranian official said Saturday that any attack on Syria would be deemed an attack on Iran, a sign that it will do all it can to protect embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Ali Akbar Velayati, an aide to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made his comments as Syrian troops conducted offensive air raids against rebels and discovered a trio of tunnels they were using to smuggle weapons in their fight to topple Assad.

Psalm 83 describes the next war, waged by those nations who are close to Israel (Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Egypt...) with the purpose of “cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more”. The results are described by Obadiah and will lead to the conditions of peace and prosperity (this and the gas fields!) needed to launch Eze 38. I understand that Iran will not be directly involved in this earlier war (Ps 83), but Iran’s proxy Hezbollah will.
