US warn Assad about chemical weapons

According to senior government officials, the US government is prepared to start new military actions against Syria if necessary to prevent President Bashar al-Assad from using chemical weapons.

Washington takes into account that Assad is again working on the development and deployment of chemical weapons. 'If we do not do anything, those weapons will also be spread outside of Syria,' said a government official.

Earlier this week, Foreign Minister Rex Tillerson said that Assad may still use chemical weapons. Last April, the US bombed a Syrian air base in response to an alleged chemical attack shortly before citizens.
