RUSSIA and Iran have said they will respond to further American military actions following the air strike in Syria last week.
In a joint statement, the command centre for the two countries and allied groups said: “We will respond to any aggression.”
The statement read: “What America waged in an aggression on Syria is a crossing of red lines. From now on we will respond with force to any aggressor or any breach of red lines from whoever it is and America knows our ability to respond well.”
The warning comes on the same day that:
- A Russian politician warned the North Koreans could strike at any time
- A seven-year-old Syrian girl tweeted her support for Trump’s missile strike
- The President blasted claims his 59-missile strike on Syrian airfield missed targets
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani condemned “flagrant US aggression on Syria” following the missile strike on a Syrian air base in response to a suspected chemical attack by the Syrian government on innocent civilians. The Iranian leader, a key ally of Syria’s dictator Bashar al-Assad, called yesterday for an impartial investigation into the chemical attack that killed at least 70 people.
