US initial assessment does not blame Syria for chemical attack
Tehran (KNA) - An initial assessment by the United States has not determined whether a reported chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma was carried out by Syrian government forces, Reuters reports.
The assessment also suggested that a nerve agent was used in the suspected poison attack, but further evidence was needed to determine the type of agent, US government sources told the news agency.
President Donald Trump has threatened to respond "forcefully" to the alleged chemical attack despite strong warnings from Russia.
