Senior US officials told the Guardian that an air campaign was under serious discussion, possibly targeting fighters not just in Iraq but in Syria, where they have seized swaths of territory in the past two years. President Barack Obama said that decisions would be taken in the ‘days ahead’. The president [..] signalled a new, reluctant openness to returning the US to war in Iraq.”
