TEHRAN, April 16 - Iranian Vice President Ali-Akbar Salehi said air strike on Syria showed political bankruptcy of the US.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - “The attack showed political bankruptcy of the US. The US and certain European countries which cooperated with the US in the attack committed a crime without having any rationality about the move.”
He said it is clear to the public opinion that US officials followed an unwise, cruel and brutal policy.
The US, Britain and France launched airstrikes against multiple places in Syria early Saturday following US President Donald Trump's order despite international warnings against further escalation of the situation in the Arab country and across the Middle East.
The US-led military coalition has accused the Syrian government of having allegedly attacked the militant-held town of Douma in the Eastern Ghouta region on April 7 and claimed that the Saturday air strikes had been aimed at deterring Syria's further use of chemical weapons.
