its really debatable how helpful syria has actually been to iran over the past decade of this conflict. mostly syria has been a quagmire that sucked in vast amounts of manpower and resources. and when the big war with israel came, assad didn't really do anything to stop israel from bombing the shit out of hezbollah's supply lines in syria and even launching some boots-on-the-ground operations there. now this shit is putting more demands on hezbollah right when they're under pressure by both israel and the lebanese army.
