The situation is totally opaque to us. Who really bombed the Golden Dome? Was 
it Sunnis? Al Qaeda? Syrians? Iranian agents? They apparently have some guys in 
custody, but who knows if they are the guys who carried out the original 
bombing. It doesn't make sense for the Sunnis to have done it, because they are 
outnumbered and outgunned and will get slaughtered if there is an all-out civil 
war. 

My inclination is to blame it on Al Qaeda, but beyond creating general mayhem I 
don't see how they benefit. Syria stands to gain the most from a civil war, and 
Iran stands to gain if you assume that the outcome will be sectarian 
genocide/"cleansing" of Sunni areas by outraged Shiites. All in all it's an 
ugly feud and one that is probably going to get worse before it gets better.
