Namely, between Syria and its allies and Israel. What would happen, as now the US retreated from Iraq and Syria receiving some advanced SAM and coastal defence systems from Russia in 2011?

Now, I'm not going to sound like any crazy close-minded lunatic, but I'm going to count on actual facts provided by you folk.

Ok. Lets start this discussion with suitable facts. Recently in November to December 2011, Syria received advanced Yakhont (or P-800 Oniks) supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles [1]. Further adding the fact that Syria now possesses S-300 SAM systems, which are quite reputable, not due to their use in any war operation, but to the destructive effect its predecessors have made on enemy aircraft, keeping in mind that S-300's can also take down hostile ballistic missile, which might paralyze Israel's superiority in the air and might also limit Israel's nuclear capability.

Thanks to the American retreat from Iraq, Syria's position in any future conflict has been improved, and now any conflict between Syria and Israel ( keeping in mind the Russian naval base in Syria) might cause catastrophic damage to the Israeli side.

Thoughts, gentlemen?

I don't think it'll happen. I bet Saudi Arabia will be the one to toast Iran's nuclear program.
