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' resolve to continue "fighting and crushing terrorism in every inch of the nation."

Axar.az informs citing sputniknews.com.

Bashar Assad said 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.

The statement comes hours after a video emerged on the web showing Assad coming to work in a suit and a tie and carrying a briefcase in the wake of the attack.
