“We have reports from multiple sources that false flags like this
one – and I cannot call it otherwise – are being prepared in other
parts of Syria, including the southern suburbs of Damascus. They plan to
plant some chemical there and accuse the Syrian government of an
attack,” he said at a joint press conference with Italian President Sergio Mattarella in Moscow.
Damascus
denied the allegations, noting that the targeted area may have been
hosting chemical weapons stockpiles belonging to Islamic State (IS,
formerly ISIS/ISIL) or Al-Nusra Front jihadists.
The incident has
not been properly investigated as yet, but the US fired dozens of cruise
missiles at a Syrian airbase in a demonstration of force over what it
labeled a chemical attack by Damascus.
“President Mattarella
and I discussed it, and I told him that this reminds me strongly of the
events in 2003, when the US representatives demonstrated at the UN
Security Council session the presumed chemical weapons found in Iraq.
The military campaign was subsequently launched in Iraq and it ended
with the devastation of the country, the growth of the terrorist threat
and the appearance of Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS] on the world
stage,” he added.
It was the first time the US had targeted Syrian troops
deliberately. The White House says it will repeat military action in
response to any possible new chemical weapon attacks.
“The
sight of people being gassed and blown away by barrel bombs ensures that
if we see this kind of action again, we hold open the possibility of
future action,” spokesman Sean Spicer said Monday.
Putin
reiterated the call to properly investigate what happened in Khan
Sheikhoun, saying that the alleged use of chemical weapons demands one.
“We
are planning to address the corresponding UN structure in The Hague and
call on the international community to thoroughly investigate all those
reports and take appropriate action based on the results of such a
probe,” he said.
