In this interview with Yerevan Saeed, Washington based political analyst on Middle East and Gulf States, we discuss the recent military action against Syrian government by US, Uk and France, possible retaliation from Russia and Iran, as well as the role of the UN today. Western forces struck Syria with more than 100 missiles on Saturday in the first coordinated Western strikes against the Syrian government, targeting what they said were chemical weapons sites, in retaliation for a suspected poison gas attack. In a tweet, President Trump says it was a "perfectly executed strike" and that is "Mission Accomplished".
