Iran Aiding Syria?

It has been said by two U.S. ranking officials that Iran is doing everything it can to ensure that the current Syrian regime stays in power. Syria has proven to be one of Iran's closest allies, and its location in relation to Iran is essential. It seems that Syria, and many Latin American countries are loyal to Iran. If Iran were to lose Syria to revolution the power dynamic that Iran possess right now will be broken. Th report states that officials have traveled back and fourth meeting with Syrian officials, and supplying Syria with military aid to help stop the revolting of the people. If the Syrian government were to be put on trial for their actions it will be interesting to see if Iran will be held somewhat accountable for the onslaught. My take on this is if Iran were to lose arguably its closest alley they would be heavily outweighed in terms of political might.
