Two proposed pipelines. One backed by Russia and one backed by the US. President Assad of Syria refused permission for the US backed pipeline it is thought under pressure from Russia. Who have backed another pipeline from Iran. Clearly Syria is required for both proposed pipelines. The city of Aleppo being a crucial part of the US backed pipeline route. In 2012 Assad authorized the Iranian pipeline, which is coincidently the same year the present war started.
Russian backed pipeline from Iran
US backed pipeline from Qatar
Clearly other countries in the region are also players in the current Syrian war with huge amounts of money at stake for both sides.
