List of tombs of Sunni figures rebuilt by Iran after Syrian rebels desecrated it
1. Khalid ibn al-Walid tomb
This grave was captured by Iranian militia and is under Iranian militia/Hizbullah control now. Iran helped to rebuild Khalid ibn al-Walid tomb after rebels bombed it. Rebels wanted to blame Assad but Iran rebuilt it with the help of some other Muslim countries (such as Russian Chechenia muslims) to show we don’t take revenge on tombs. This is his tomb now. You can go and visit it in Syria. A western source is also provided which is of course with some bias:

2. Muawiyah tomb
Muawiyah grave rebuilt by us after rebels bombed it.
3. Prophet Younes, prophet Nahum, etc
There are four prophet tombs (such as prophet Younes) in Syria that were exhumed and remaining bodies were taken away and then the tombs were bombed by Syrian rebels supported by Turkey and KSA. We rebuilt the tombs but unfortunately they took away what they exhumed and Iran was unable to take it back. The tomb is rebuilt though.

4. Tomb of Mohammed bin Ali
5. Tomb of Nizar Abu Bahaaeddine
and a lot more...
Omar ibn Abdul Aziz is respected by Shiite. There is a chapter in literature book of Iranian primary/middle school about his decency. According to hadiths, Imam al-Baqir, Shiite imam, referred to him as the nobleman among Umayyads.
He is noted for:
