Of course, what is not mentioned is the likely US and/or Israel strike against Irans Nuclear infrastructure and the leadership of the Revolutionary Guards. After that event, Irans influence and status will fall precipitously, as will its ability (already quite shaky) to fund all its foreign proxies. Syria is almost certainly jumping ship while it doesn’t look like a desperate measure. And of course, Israel is a much more trustworthy ally- see Egypt.
