Syria and Iraq warn of "dangerous consequences" after US airstrikes. The attacks, carried out on Friday night on the western border between Syria and Iraq, put "the Middle East region on the brink of the abyss," according to the Iraqi government.

It is expected to be the first in a series of attacks in retaliation for the death of three US soldiers in Jordan during an attack last Sunday. Among its targets were operations, intelligence and command centers, rockets and missiles, unmanned aerial vehicle warehouses and supply chains.
