(CNN) —

Nothing is simple about the crisis in Syria.

With conflicting interests and competing global powers, the international community remains at an impasse over Syria’s six-year conflict.

On Friday morning local time, the US military struck a Syrian air base in response to a chemical weapons attack, bringing mixed reaction from global players. Some lauded the action as long overdue, while others condemned it as “an aggression.”

Here’s a look at the key countries involved in Syria, their reactions to the strike and their stakes in the conflict.
