The United States, Britain and France launched precision military strikes in Syria to punish the Assad regime for an apparent chemical weapons attack against civilians. "Clearly the Assad regime did not get the message last year," Mattis said. The third target was a chemical weapons equipment storage facility and an important command post, also west of Homs, Dunford said. But during the weekend, images of dead and sick women and children again circulated following another alleged chemical attack. Trump also hit Russia and Iran for their sustained support of the Assad regime.
