In February 2018, Israel started attacking Iranian positions in Syria, and in July, Russia tried to intervene to reduce tensions. From the study of the events that took place from February 2018 to January 2019, this article analyses whether the Irano-Israeli rivalry in the Syrian theatre constitutes, or might constitute in the immediate future, a factor of instability for Syria through a spill over effect. Taking advantage of Goertz and Diehl (2003)’s concept of rivalry, this article adopts the prospect theory applied to International Relations, as developed by Levy (2003), to understand the behaviour of the actors involved, and the preponderance of power perspective to answer the main question and determine the effects of the rivalry on the stability. La guerra civil siria ha sido un terreno propicio para la intervención de terceros actores, siendo escenario de la competencia tanto entre Estados regionales como extra-regionales, entre ellos Irán, Israel y Rusia. En febrero de 2018, Israel comenzó a atacar las posiciones iraníes en Siria y, en julio, Rusia intentó intervenir para reducir tensiones. A partir del estudio de los hechos acaecidos desde febrero de 2018 a enero 2019, este trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar si la rivalidad irano-israelí en el escenario sirio constituye, o puede constituir en el inmediato plazo, un factor de desestabilización para Siria mediante un efecto de spill over. Partiendo del concepto de rivalidad de Goertz y Diehl (2003), el presente artículo se vale de la teoría prospectiva aplicada a las Relaciones Internacionales expuesta por Levy (2003) para entender el accionar de los actores y de la perspectiva de la preponderancia de poder para responder al interrogante central y esbozar los efectos de la rivalidad sobre la estabilidad.
