Saudi Arabia said, it fully backs a US air strike on a Syrian government airbase in retaliation for a suspected chemical weapons attack on a rebel-held town. Turkey said US missile strikes against the Syrian air base is a positive action. <br/><br/>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country fully supports President Trump's decision.<br/><br/>Russia says, US missile strikes on a military airfield in Syria violates international law and represents an act of aggression against a sovereign state under a far-fetched pretext. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov today said that Washington inflicts considerable damage to US-Russia relations. <br/><br/>Iran denounced the strike and said such unilateral strikes and other measures will strengthen terrorists in Syria and will complicate the situation in the region.
