I've Been Thinking:

Ahmadinejad's trip to Damascus has paid off.
Iran and Syria have reached a new - and overarching - agreement.

Iran promises to:
Fund Syria's acquisition of Russian and North Korean weapons
Set up factories to build military weapons
Support Syria in Lebanon

Syria promises to:
Not move forward with any peace deals with Israel
Work to destabilize the current Lebanese government lead by Siniora and Lahoud.

At least, that's the way Iranian news is reporting the agreement.
Reports from Iran should always be met with skepticism.
But this one makes sense.
Iran's overarching goal is to sabotage progress and normalization in the region.
