metadata.value: Since the early 2000s, Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) has been providing active policy in Middle
  East. The Syrian crisis challenged Iran’s positions in the region. In 2013–2014, the “imminent”
  collapse of Alawite power in Syria could affect Iran’s national security. In 2015 after the
  involvement of Russia’s Aerospace Forces (RAF) in Syria, Moscow-Tehran coordinated efforts
  played a decisive role in achieving al-Assad’s victory and reasserting regime’s influence across
  Syria. Tehran achieved all its primary goals in Syria and secured its long-term interests in the
  Middle East. The group of influential factors determined Iranian policy in Syria and other
  Middle Eastern countries. These factors derived form historical legacy, political background
  of Arab-Iranian relations, the presence of identically typical groups of population in the targeted
  countries, Tehran’s ability to change the regional power balance in its favor. The Syrian
  conflict presented an exclusive example from Iranian typical behavioral crisis model (e. g.,
  low numbers of IRGC ground forces mostly in an advise-and-assist capacity). Meanwhile,
  Iranian policy in Syria affected Tehran’s relations with key regional, international players in
  the region. New developments in Iran Israeli conflict complicated situation in the region and
  created potential threats for lunching a new war on the Middle East. The main research’s goal
  shaped by study of the new developments in Iran’s Mideast politics and Iranian military operation
  in Syria regards Arab-Iran historical legacy. The above-mentioned questions shape the
  urgency of presented research paper that investigates most of advanced statements and proves
  forwarded conclusions. An appropriate theoretical framework for this study was provided by
  the constructivist approach combined with comparative methodology. The last decade has
  witnessed several studies about the Syrian crisis. Meanwhile the important details of evolution
  of Iran’s politics in the Syrian conflict and Tehran’s military operations in other Mideast countries
  call for more comprehensive examining. In view of this the article defined by its novelty
  and based on sources in Arabic and Persian languages. An author tries to predict transformations in Iran’s Middle Eastern politics in view of further political developments in the region
  and Syria, as well.
