I believe there is a possibility of Russia brokering a peace deal or at least a good neighborhood treaty between the Iranians and Israel.
During the days of the Pahlavi dynasty, Iran and Israel had diplomatic relations. Not the best kind, but still amicable. I don't see the current Iranian regime recognizing Israel as that would go against their objective.
Let's face it, to most Muslim countries, Israel is an eyesore
That's also part of the problem with Assad. Even if we ignore his chemical attacks, his funding of Hezbollah (also from Iran's side) remains a major point of contention. He is guilty of threatening Israel.

....Israel and Saudi Arabia found a way to peacefully co-exist (albeit under the patronage of the same power) so it is possible.....same with Egypt and Israel...so it can happen.
I believe Iran can be brought to be reasonable especially if it has the backing of a credible power, something it did not have until recently...

Ordinary daily life of the country, hopelessly lagging behind the " civilized world"
February 6, 2018 reactor plant of the new heavy-duty power unit № 1 generation "3+" of the Leningrad NPP-2 was brought to the minimum controlled power level (MCU, less than 1%). A controlled chain reaction of fission began in the reactor: the neutron flux monitoring equipment recorded a stable neutron power of the reactor. In such cases, it is figuratively stated that the reactor "began to live".
In accordance with the Directive schedule, the power start-up of power unit No. 1 of SELA-2 and the beginning of pilot operation are scheduled for spring this year.

Actually Saudi Arabia fears Iran more than Israel. Yet Saudi Arabia and Israel are not allies.
However Russia support for Iran presence in Syria is an concern. Iran military has no plans to leave Syria at this state. Also the Iranian backed Lebanese Hezbollah is in Syria too. With this, Israel is also involved in the war to fight against the Hezbollah and Iranian forces. Israel also bombed a Syria nuclear plant too. Israel is likely to continue on fighting Hezbollah in Syria and attack Iranians in Syria too.
Anyway I not just against Russian intervention in the Middle East but US and Western military intervention there too, except for economic and political support for secular regimes there, and to encourage Islamist regimes to become more open minded. and secular, instead of backing Islamist countries or groups there.

While that's impressive technically. It hardly shows what daily life in Russia is like. A better indicator would be this as it's both a business and commercial/residential center.
My opinion on Russia's performance in Syria is unchanged. I'm not arguing what other people's opinions are. I'm unimpressed with their ability to eliminate much resistance in Idlib even after 2 years of air and artillery strikes. They won in Aleppo after 1 year of siege and targeting of hospitals enough to break the resistance. In Idlib its extremely slow going despite having a large number of forces on their side and nearly unimpeded air support.
As for Libya, they have to get real. Their guy is gone and if they don't support the reconciliation process there, they will lose out on future business deals.
Give them more time. The US has been at war in Afghanistan for 16 years now, still have not won...Yet you expect Russia to be magical and win in two years (committing the fraction of resources the US has, against an enemy funded and supported by various sources including the US).

Saudi Arabia exists peacefully with Israel because the US pays them to. Providing huge defense deals and guaranteeing protection for its oil industry, in exchange for relations with Israel (and support the petro-dollar). Same with Egypt, the US provides billions in defense aid for Egypt, in exchange for having non-hostile relations with Israel.

Isn’t there a saying that goes somewhere along the lines of Moscow isn’t Russia? Moscow is a developed city with similar living standards to the rest of Europe. But for other cities it’s not really the case. Sure there are some that are doing pretty good such as Yekaterinburg or Tyumen, but many others are struggling such as Volgograd and Tula

Exactly...so there is a way to co-exist and Russia can help on its own...
