US respected Russia's red lines in Syria during air strikes, says Lavrov

Russia's foreign minister has said the US sought out and respected Moscow's positions in Syria when it launched its air strikes last week.

Sergey Lavrov noted that despite the escalating tensions between Moscow and Washington, the US made sure it did not harm any Russian personnel and positions during the strikes against the regime of President Bashar Assad following a suspected chemical attack on the town of Douma.
