If Assad is in Iran, this is the perfect set up to fuck Iran.
I've never believed Assad is guilty of anything. So he "flees" to Iran and then it's outed in the press that he's there (he's not) and we blow Iran to fuckall and back.
Cabal, fucked
Assad, safe
Syria, safe
Russia, probably mad but they care more about Syrian oil pipeline than Iran
Seems logical to me
