US, Britain, France attack Syria against use of chemical weapons

President Donald Trump announced that he ordered strikes on the Syrian regime in response to a chemical weapons attack, CNN reported.
"I ordered the United States armed forces to launch precision strikes on targets associated with the chemical weapon capabilities of Syrian dictator of Bashar al-Assad," Trump said from the White House Diplomatic Room.
The President also said the strikes were in coordination with France and the United Kingdom. Trump said the military action is to establish a strong deterrent against the production, spread and use of chemical weapons.
"The combined American, British and French response to these atrocities will integrate all instruments of our national power: military, economic and diplomatic," Trump said.
The strikes would continue until the Syrian regime's use of chemical weapons ends. But he also said that America has no plans to stay there for long.

US claims it has proof about Syria chemical attack


Washington, April 14

 US State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert has said the US has "a very high level of confidence" that Syria was responsible for the recent chemical attack in the Middle East nation.

Nauert said in a press briefing on Friday that the US has proof that the Syrian government was behind this attack, and will "continue to gather information and further assess it", Xinhua news agency reported. 

"I can tell you this. Syria's responsible. We are all in agreement," she said. "We can say that the Syrian government was behind this attack." 

However, she refused to show the evidence, saying the thing was "sensitive." 

She also refuted the accusation of Russia in the UN meeting earlier on Friday that Britain was behind the Syria attack, saying Moscow tried to "completely change the story" and "turn it upside down." 

"The UK, I'm confident in saying, had absolutely nothing to do with it," she added. "It is the assessment of the US government, the British government, the French government." 

Meanwhile, Russia's Defence Ministry Spokesman Lgor Konashenkov said that "we have evidence that proves Britain was directly involved in organising this provocation" in Douma. 

Activists and rebels in Syria claimed that Syrian forces used chlorine gas in the attack on April 7 against Douma in the rebel-held area near Damascus.

The Syrian government has denied the allegations and called the reports fake news that the West uses to justify attacking the country.
