US and ‘Arab Partners’ Launch First Wave of Airstrikes, Tomahawk Missiles into Syria
Today, the US launched its first wave of bombing runs and missiles attacks inside the country of Syria. Initial US targets were focused on the northeastern Syrian city of Raqqa, along with some 20 other Islamic State, or ‘ISIL’ targets in Syria.
US Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon’s official press secretary Tweeted the news this evening (US time):
US military & partner nation forces have begun striking ISIL targets in Syria using mix of fighters, bombers and Tomahawk missiles.

According to the Pentagon, a mix of fighter jets, bombers and ship-based Tomahawk missiles were deployed in Syria, supposedly against “Islamic State targets in Syria”. Operations are expected to be “ongoing”, with more colourful and impressive graphics of the attacks available on CNN and FOX after the strikes were complete.

Keen to project itself as part of a coalition, Washington is claiming that they did not fly all the missions alone, and that there were Arab ‘partners’ involved in the airstrikes, although it’s difficult to see how that could have actually happened. According to a report in the Washington Post:
“Two U.S. defense officials identified the partner nations as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. One official described them as “full participants” in the airstrikes in Syria but did not give further details, saying it was up to those countries to fully disclose their roles.”
This latest move puts the US in a precarious position, as it appears to be an unauthorised, unilateral attack inside another sovereign nation and UN member state – a clear violation of international law. If history is any guide, it’s doubtful that the UN will take any notice of this latest unilateral military operation by Washington DC.
