Syria lashed out at the United States, stressing that the latest accusations that Damascus was preparing to launch a chemical attack are aimed at justifying a new aggression by Washington.
A source at the Syrian foreign ministry denied as misleading, false and baseless” the US allegations about Syria’s intention to launch a chemical attack.
” Syria confirms that the US allegations aim to justify a new aggression on Syria under false pretexts as happened in al-Shairat Airport, and to cover the US-led international illegal coalition’s strikes,” SANA news agency quoted the source as saying in a statement.
” Syria condemns the US threats and rejects them, ” the source said, affirming that ” any US aggression on its army and people serves the terrorist organizations and contradicts with the principles and purposes of the UN Charter and Security Council resolutions on combating terrorism.”
