The ambassador said that apart from these, the rest of the terrorist group is also present in Syria. He told that most of them are ready to fight. Even though US-led forces captured all ISIS-occupied territories in Syria and Iraq earlier this year, this militant group still exists in the region, as well as responsibility for several minor attacks.

Although he talked about the strikes he made no mention of any possible retaliation which eased fears of a World War like situation

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the dozens of missiles and bombs fired at a few sites on Saturday couldn’t enter the Russian Airspace guarded advance systems and caused no damage or casualties either for Syria or for Russia.

According to US officials, the strikes were larger than what was ordered a year ago by President Trump, these strikes were limited to a few targets like the chemical-weapons program.

Russia’s top military commander warned, last month that Russian forces will definitely shoot down any missiles and their launchers that threaten its personnel, which further fueled fears of a collision of the world powers

Andrei Klimov, deputy chairman of the international affairs committee in the upper house of parliament in Moscow was quoted as saying “We’re not talking about a direct military conflict between Russia and the U.S.,”

He also added that “The Americans and their allies did everything to make sure they didn’t hit Russian units.”

US Defense Secretary James Mattis said that there were no immediate plans for more attacks. The attack on Saturday was considered minor and would not threaten the Syrian regime’s survival which is a key Russian priority.

Military action against a sovereign state violated International law Putin said in a statement.

According to General Sergei Rudskoi, while he was speaking from the Russian capital, Syrian forces using Soviet-designed systems intercepted 71 of the 103 cruise missiles launched, including at six airfields

The US hasn’t provided any report about the efficacy and the success of the attack.

There were fears all around the world of a world war like situation developing with the Syrian strikes. The act of aggression could fuel a retaliation and start a war. But with the Russian statement and no eminent threat to the Syrian regime, the situation seems to have mellowed down.

Large and big explosions were heard in the Syrian capital Damascus soon after President Donald Trump began a White House address to announce the action.

Mr. Trump said in a primetime televised speech to the nation that “A short time ago, I ordered the United States armed forces to launch precision strikes on targets associated with the chemical weapons capabilities of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad,”

“A combined operation with the armed forces of France and the United Kingdom is now underway. We thank them both. This massacre was a significant escalation in a pattern of chemical weapons use by that very terrible regime.”

According to different US officials, the strike targeted chemical production facilities and multiple types of bombs were used and many targets were chosen.

In his statement US President Donald Trump also warned Iran and Russia not to stand by their ally in Damascus, and if they do they will face serious consequences.

Trump further argued that “Russia must decide if it will continue down this dark path or if it will join with civilized nations as a force for stability and peace,”.

A week ago alleged toxic gas attacks were launched in the Damascus suburb of Douma and as a repercussion to this, strikes by the US and its allies were expected. Trump stated in a Tweet.

Trump emotionally declared. “Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria,”

“President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price to pay.” He also added.

France’s President Emmanuel Macron, who signed his country up for a joint response, matched the apparent determination and Trump’s anger.

Donald Trump now has a coalition of sorts, although Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May was more cautious but still it joined hands with the US by the time the first missile was launched.

Ms. May said there was “no practicable alternative” to the use of force against Assad.

Donald Trump’s language was more brutal: “They are crimes of a monster.”

As the situation gets tense and the world is being divided into two opposing camps, there are apprehensions of increased tensions and violence, hopefully, reason will prevail and the situation calm down soon
