That’s true. Isn’t Syria majority Sunni but Assad Shi’a?

Yes that is my understanding. Syria however will have a difficult time governing in a post Assad regime. My guess is tribalism will make it really difficult. I think actually the fragmentation that results from tribalism will make it easy for Iran to continue to destabilize Syria, even though they are Sunni. It is a pretty complicated dynamic. The reality is instability is a bad thing for security overall.
