TF's theory methinks probably holds some grains of truth. Like most Middle East national armies, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is kinda its own institution free of oversight. This fact is what brought down a few Middle East regimes (then brought them back) during the Arab Spring. The guard has already been very vocal about Iran abandoning the deal and projecting strength, even as the 'moderate' govt is more trying to play the victim. So yeah, I suspect the military ordered the strike over domestic politics, and to ensure their view was forced upon the leadership.

Is anyone thinking as well that Assad is pretty stupid to step into the Israeli trap by destracting the Syrian army and Iranians from cleaning the remaining "rebel" areas in the country ?

Either this, or Assad doesn't have the Iranians under control there and they already do what they want ...
