Could be Irani system but Iran is silent and that makes it a less Irani issue. Now Iran silent could be because they don't want to shout and engage in any talks with Israel. But at this point I can make assumptions and the best assumption is that it was a advanced Buck missile integrated with S-400 Radar. The problem is not intercepting it the detection and astonishingly Syrians were able to detect it. It could be also Irani system as Iran is also interested in S-400 and has obtained S-300 and Irani system are integrated with S-400 radar.The only system that Syria has that could stop these missile is the Pantsyir system, which is a short range system.
It is also possible that an Iranian air defense system intercepted the missiles if it was indeed an attack on an Iranian base.
In my obsolete head the only thing that could be possible is that S-400 was not needed in Syria it is an over kill by Russians the only reason is to use the system for detection and use other local assets to intercept or get a better lock if Russians have this integration with Syrian anti Air assets and Irani assets than Syrian Air space is an area denial situation now God know better what is going on but it seems so.
