Monday, June 26, the press Secretary of the White house Sean Spicer made an official statement. He announced the U.S. government’s “possible”evidence that the Syrian authorities are preparing for a new chemical attack.
“The United States has identified possible preparations for another attack with the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime, and probably it will lead to mass murder civilians, including innocent children,” said Sean Spicer.
In addition, the press Secretary found it necessary to reiterate that United States troops are in Syria to eliminate Sunni Islamist organization «Islamic state»operating in these areas, as well as in Iraq.
Spicer also mentioned that such preparations for an attack were carried out a few months ago, before April 4, when was carried out a chemical attack on the Syrian town of Khan shaykhun in Idlib province.
At that time the American authorities have blamed the regime of Bashar al-Assad, but he denied responsibility for the incident and even said that the White house “fabricated the whole story to have an excuse to attack.”
Recall that a few days after the attack on Khan shaykhun, Donald trump has ordered the armed forces of the United States to release the 59 Tomahawk missiles at the Syrian air base Shirt, where it was allegedly stored chemical weapons.
Given this fact, the phrase Spicer that if Bashar al-Assad will hold another “mass murder using chemical weapons,” he and his military “will pay a high price”, sounded pretty convincing.
However, the White house has not provided any evidenceto confirm their statements.
Nikki Haley, the representative of the USA at the United Nations, decided not to stand aside and supported their government following tweet:
Any further attacks done to the people of Syria will be blamed on Assad, but also on Russia & Iran who support him killing his own people.
