Trump's buddy Putin.
I strongly doubt Putin is eager to ensnarl the US into a protracted commitment in Syria in order to bind turkey and Iran, or say nothing of Assad, more closely to Russia.
Nothing binds Iran to Russia more effectively than trump’s threat to gratuitously tear up the nuclear deal with Iran.
Russia is not above facilities more american threats to Iran in order to make Iran more dependent on Russia.

Could have reined in Israel during the late 40 years.
Could have not gone into Iraq in 2001.
Could have not been taken in by the mirage of Arab spring.
Could have not elected trump.
