In a nationally televised address, President Trump announced air strikes against Syrian assets in retaliation for the use of banned chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The American strikes are coordinated with the United Kingdom and France.

More details will be given at a Pentagon briefing later tonight.

Reuters reports that the strikes are reaching beyond isolated military installations:

Thomas Mackie at the United Kingdom’s Express:

Donald Trump Syria airstrikes ‘BLOCKED’ by James Mattis in attempt to stop World War 3

DONALD Trump’s plans to attack Syria with airstrikes have been blocked on two occasions already this week by US Defence Secretary James Mattis, as the senior politician desperately tries to stop the outbreak of World War 3.

Mr. Mackie appears to be unclear on how the American government works.
