The Kremlin has warned the US it is βone step from war’ over Syria – but the Trump administration hit back by saying it would be prepared to carry out airstrikes again.
In the first direct American raid on Bashar al Assadβs forces, President Trump authorised the firing of 59 cruise missiles at a military airfield.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev denounced the US for attacking βthe legitimate government of Syriaβ and for allegedly breaking international law without the approval of the UN.
