israel has not responded to syrian state media reports accusing it of carrying out that attack and the israeli authorities have previously said the us air base is run by iranian forces which backed the also government and the war the us said it's not conducting air strikes in syria but is watching the situation closely so in a hunter joins us from beirut so as they say in a sense this has happened has there been any more progress towards figuring out who did it what happened why what do we know. well the syrian state media reported an overnight attack targeting one of its air bases in the central province of homs the t. for air base initially it blamed the united states it said that it was most likely conducted by the u.s. military the pentagon denied that it immediately denied that that statement as well as france france also denied carrying out any military operation in syria now the united states and france both denying just hours after the presidents of both countries held a phone conversation and agreed on a joint in response to retaliate against what is believed were a chemical w
