The Global Coalition against the so-called Islamic State (IS) met on Monday to coordinate efforts to defeat the terror group.

The summit in Rome is co-chaired by the Italian Foreign Minister, Luigi di Maio, and his American counterpart, Anthony Blinken, and will be attended by more than 80 international delegations.

The meeting came just a day after the U.S. launched airstrikes against Iran-backed militias near the Iraq-Syria border.
