The circumstance surrounding the Iran deal are much more significant than any media is reporting. That much goes without a doubt.
It seems that, with the Intel provided by Q, and a bit of hind sight, it would seem that Iran was using that deal as an opportunity to build forward bases into Syria, ultimately to attack Israel in a longer term plan.
It's nice to see this mess actually being cleaned up.
The Iran-Syria alliance was troubling. Luckily, Israel could appeal to Russia to keep some control over it. However, I think Russia was probably trying to use it as leverage.
