It is obvious: Syria Gas Attack Carried by Third Party as Casus Belli

While the Syrian government destroyed its stockpile of chemical weapons under UN supervision a couple of years ago, a third party seems to have carried out the recent chemical attack in Idlib to clear the way for military attack on Syria, a top Iranian official said.


Syria renounced chemical weapons under a Russian-proposed initiative and cooperated with the United Nations to destroy its stockpile, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani said in a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart on Saturday.

Given those constructive developments, it is obvious that the recent gas attack in Idlib has been carried out by a “third party” to provide a pretext for military action against Syria, Shamkhani deplored.

He also emphasized the need for formation of an “independent international” fact-finding committee to shed light on the “suspicious chemical attack” that the US is blaming on the Damascus government.
