Shayrat missile strike

The United States is "locked and loaded" to strike again if Syria's President Bashar al-Assad's government again uses chemical weapons, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told the Security Council on April 14. 

While NATO has issued a strong statement of support for its three allies which launched a military strike against Syria over the suspected chemical attack of last weekend, the United Nations called for restraint.

Russia and Iran, both allies of the Bashar Al-Assad regime in Syria, strongly condemned the joint strikes carried out in Syria by the United States, France and Britain on April 14.

Turkey has urged both the United States and Russia to refrain from acts that could further escalate tension over Syria, calling on Moscow to take effective measures to stop the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May agree on the need to find an international response to deter the use of chemical weapons in Syria, the British prime minister's office said on Thursday, cited by Reuters.

United States President Donald Trump has yet to make a final decision on a potential military strike on Syria in the wake of a suspected chemical attack that killed dozens of people.

U.S. President Donald Trump was evasive on April 12 over when the United States might fire missiles at Syria in retaliation for an alleged chemical weapons attack, saying they could come at any time.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on April 11 that "missiles will be coming" in response to an alleged chemical attack in Syria, defying Russian warnings against a strike.

Promising a decision within hours, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened a military strike against Syria and declared on Monday that Russia or any other nation found to share responsibility for Saturday's apparent chemical weapons attack on civilians will "pay a price."

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson blamed Russia for failing to honor its commitment to the elimination of chemical weapons in Syria, TASS reported, quoted by Focus. The Russian agency refers to a Tillerson interview given to the American television channel Fox news.
