The largest natural gas field in the world lies under the Persian Gulf and is shared by Iran and Qatar, the latter of which has close ties with the European Union and the United States.
Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey would like to build a link to Europe, but it passes through Syria. Assad and his Iranian and Russian allies have a competing proposal for a pipeline route.
The whole war is about pipelines from the Gulf states to Europe. A small event went unnoticed a few days before the start of the Syrian war, the Saudi king was recovering in Morocoo and stopped on his way back in Syria for a meeting with Assad. No news came out about his meeting indicating it was a failure, and the war started a few days later, obviously because it was already planned.
Syria is important to Russia because without the gas sales to Europe the Russian economy might very well collapse. Russia does not want their economy to collapse and the U.S. does not want to abandon Europe to Russia. And obviously the reason Syria so important to the France, Germany, and the UK is to break the oil and gas dependency on Russia.
