Russian envoy warns of ‘consequences’ after US-led strikes on Syria

Washington/Dubai, April 14

Syria ally Russia has warned of “consequences” following the launch of US-led strikes against Bashar al-Assad’s regime in retaliation for a suspected chemical attack.

“Again, we are being threatened,” Russia’s ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, said in a statement.

“We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences. All responsibility for them rests with Washington, London and Paris.” “Insulting the President of Russia is unacceptable and inadmissible,” added the envoy, after President Donald Trump directly called out his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin over his support for the Assad regime.

Iran Guards warn of fallout: Fars

An official in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday that the fallout from U.S.-led attacks on Syria will be at Washington’s expense.

“With this attack…the situation will become more complex, and this will surely be at the expense of the United States, which will be responsible for the aftermath of upcoming regional events that will certainly not be in their interest,” Yadollah Javani, the Guards’ deputy head for political affairs, told Fars news agency.
