Let's ask Google
Yup, says they've been buds since 1979.
Iran and its close ally Syria have signed a new defence cooperation pact, Iranian media reported on Wednesday, just a week after news broke that Israel had begun indirect peace talks with Damascus.
"The two countries pledge their mutual support regarding territorial independence and integrity in terms of international and regional authorities," the state-run IRNA news agency reported.
The accord, signed during a visit by Syrian Defence Minister Hassan Turkmani, also called for the withdrawal of "foreign and occupation forces, which are the source of insecurity and instability in the region."

There's also this video of the alleged attack itself. Can't embed cause it has headless corpses etc. Also this is not the Azaz that is possibly in the liveleak video. This is called Noor Al Shuhada'a. That's what the CNN article said was bombed.
YT video. WARNING! extremely graphic content!
