Sputnik: Assad: US-Led Attack Comes as West Realizes It's Lost Control of Syrian Conflict

After the United States, France, and the United Kingdom launched a total of 103 missiles against Syrian targets overnight on Saturday, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said the attack unites Syrians and increases Damascus's resolve to continue "fighting and crushing terrorism in every inch of the nation."

Bashar Assad told his Iranian counterpart, Hassan Rouhani, in a telephone conversation on Saturday that the joint attack against Syria came after the Western states realized they had lost control of the situation in the region and credibility in the conflict.
