Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)Nikki Haley, US ambassador to the United Nations, warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that the United States will launch new missile attacks against its regime if it carries out another chemical weapon attack. Mrs. Haley said about the Fox News network: “if Assad didn't hear the message” after hitting me [...]
Mrs. Haley told the Fox News network: “if Assad has not heard the message” following a 105-strong strike Saturday in the attack undertaken by the United States, Britain and France, “will suffer. There will be more attacks. We can't even allow the slightest use of chemical weapons”.
The American ambassador said that “is fully in the hands of Assad” if it is a single blow from Western allies in response to the chemical gun attack believed to have carried out the Syrian regime a week ago and left over 40 killed, or if there will be a continuing military campaign against Syria.
In an interview for the CBS network, Mrs. Haley said new sanctions against Russia will be announced on Monday for supporting the Assad regime. The sanctions, she said, would hit any company that has jobs with equipment related to the chemical gun attack in Syria”.
As a result of Russia's commitment to Syria's support and strong criticism of Moscow's attack on Western allies against Assad's strategic targets, Mrs. Haley claimed US-Russia relations are at a low point.
American military officials say that in the initial analysis, it results in any rocket thrown yesterday morning over Syria hitting target target, turning strategic Syrian government targets into ruins and dust and avoiding casualties in the ranks of civilians.
Officials say they are convinced that Syrian government forces have used chlorine gas against civilians last week in Syria and that they are now analyzing evidence that suggests that sarin gas may have been used. The evidence that there was a chemical gun attack is unbelievable,” said US military officials yesterday.
British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson told the BBC that there are no plans for further military attacks against Syria, but if the Syrian regime uses chemical weapons again, the allies may consider the possibility of further strikes.
The United States, Britain and France threw 105 rockets against three Syrian chemical weapons programme objects -- one in the country's capital, Damascus, two in Homs, near the Lebanon border.
