First shot from Russia et al. For them it seems to be 'superpower status' which they are willing to share with Iran:

A statement released by "the joint command operation center of Syrian allies," a group that includes Russia and Iran (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/iran.htm), warned the U.S. against further military actions in the war-torn country, following a missile strike on a Syrian air base last week.
Referring to its defense of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/world/president-bashar-al-assad.htm)'s regime, the group warned that they would support Syria (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/world/syrian-chemical-weapons.htm) and its people "with all means that we have."
"The United States crossed red lines by attacking Syria, from now on we will respond to anyone, including America if it attacks Syria and crosses the red lines," the statement read. "America knows very well our ability and capabilities to respond well to them, [and] we will respond without taking into consideration any reaction and consequences."
The statement did not include critical details like what kind of military operation would cross such a red line, or what kind of response would be made on the part of Syria and its allies, but noted that they would work to "liberate" Syria from occupation.
"Rest assured that we will liberate Syria from all kinds of occupying forces, it does not matter from where they came to the occupied part of Syria," the statement warned. "Russia and Iran will not allow the United States to be the only superpower in world."
The statement warned the U.S. that allies of Syria were "closely and deeply following American forces' moves and presence" in the areas of northern Syria and northwestern Iraq, and that they will "consider them [to be] an occupying force."
