So you already divided Syria in two ?
Iran in the role we are discussing here, would be friendly neighbour to a sovereign state of Syria (only Syria out there) which is currently in turmoil that can easily lead to another long civil war. (Like Lebanon for instance).
>Why would Iran want those factions of Syria to do anything different from what they're already doing? Iran is worried about being surrounded by democratic countries, Arab Spring uprisings etc. Iran wants the current regime in Syria to remain as-is.

I do not think Russia has problem with democracy. As for bases, sure. It is their property.
