Iranian and Syrian officials have criticized Barack Obama for excluding them from an international coalition formed to destroy the Islamic State group.
A state-run Syrian daily newspaper has also warned that unauthorized U.S. airstrikes on Syrian territory may trigger the 'first sparks of fire' in the region.
In a prime-time address to the nation from the White House yesterday, Obama announced that he was authorizing U.S. airstrikes inside Syria for the first time, along with expanded strikes in Iraq as part of 'a steady, relentless effort' to root out Islamic State extremists and stop them from spreading their reign of terror.
