From a real estate standpoint, if you want to acquire a large parcel, you may have to purchase discontiguous parcels and piece them together.

In the Middle East, with a defenseless Iraq rapidly becoming an Iranian vassal, things are going Iran's way. A contiguous land corridor from Iran to the Mediterranean Sea is just a matter of time.

Iran flies through Iraqi airspace to Syria for what that is worth.

If you re-establish order in Syria, Iranian planes have no allied airports to land planes. Iran could fly over an ever-increasingly chaotic Iraq, but the major point is, confine Iran so that it has pretty much nowhere to go.
