Isn't it all about pipelines? So I think Russia and Iran have a deal, and they need to push their pipelines through Syria but the US and some other countries don't want that... they want a monopoly or something.
Also relates to gas in Europe.

No. It's not.
I mean, the Iranians may benefit from a frieldly government willing to accommodate a pipeline, but the idea that that's a reason to support Assad is nuts. (Assad being Alawite has more to do with it.) Neither does Russia have any particular reason on that front. What it does lack is a warm-water port, which Syria has traditionally provided.
