The United States continues to launch airstrikes targeting the Islamic State in Iraq as it moves to bring the war to Syria. On Sunday, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, said other countries have signed on for the expanded offensive following an international summit last week.

Samantha Power: “More than 40 countries spoke in support of the anti-ISIL effort, half at the ministerial level. The French last week joined combat strike missions in Iraq for the first time. You have the Saudis who have come out and offered training bases for the moderate opposition, now that Congress has approved the train-and-equip program that the president put forward. So, we are seeing a diverse range of forms of support, and the commitments are coming in every day.”
