USA: All Our Missiles Struck Their Targets in Syria

USA officials informed Russian forces ahead of the missile strikes, and avoided hitting Russian personnel.

Her words, however, came a day after she said Washington was ready to take additional action after a solo United States strike on a Syrian air base.

Democratic Rep. Tim Walz, a retired National Guard command sergeant major, said Trump must communicate a “holistic strategy” for dealing with the conflict in Syria to Congress.

Tillerson on Sunday blamed Russian Federation for enabling the poison gas attack by failing to follow through on a 2013 agreement to secure and destroy chemical weapons stockpiles in Syria.

Haley said she thought a regime change would occur because “all of the parties are going to see that Assad is not the leader that needs to be taking place for Syria“.

Trump also suggested on Twitter that the USA wasn’t specifically trying to hit runways at the airfield during the operation.

Mr Johnson’s visit, for talks with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, would have been the first by a United Kingdom foreign secretary in more than five years.

The Local Coordination Committees, another monitoring group, said the airstrike was carried out by Russian warplane.

Britain’s top diplomat was invited to visit Moscow by Russian Foreign Secretary Sergei Lavrov, and a government statement had said Johnson would visit his counterpart on April 10.

He warned that the United States attacks would create a rift among countries in fighting against terrorism and divert the political negotiations about Syria into a military direction.

Damascus and Moscow have denied Syrian forces were behind the gas attack but Western countries dismissed their explanation that chemicals leaked from a rebel weapons depot after an air strike.

“But the signal that they’re able to fly nearly right away out of the same facility indicates that I don’t think we did as thorough enough job, which would have been cratering the runways”, McCain said”.

While the Syrian opposition applauded the U.S. cruise missile attack on the airbase near Homs, it said it should not be a one-off and was not enough on its own to stop government warplanes from hitting rebel-held areas.

Standing firm, the Trump administration on Friday signalled new sanctions would soon follow the missile attack, and the Pentagon was even probing whether Russian Federation itself was involved in the chemical weapons assault that compelled President Donald Trump to act.

The video shows the airfield in a northwestern Syrian province where the sarin gas attack is believed to have originated in ruins following the strike.

“There is no such thing as Assad yes, but ISIS no”, Rubio said.

But he also backed calls for an independent inquiry into the suspected chemical weapons attack.

“If this intervention is limited only to an air base, if it does not continue and if we don’t remove the regime from heading Syria, then this would remain a cosmetic intervention”, said Cavusoglu.

U.S. allies have been praising U.S. President Trump’s missile strikes on a Syrian military base.

“The worldwide community has repeatedly expressed its outrage”, she said.

Saudi Arabia is one of the most vehement opponents of Assad.
