To the UN called a “metered-by-step” precision missile attack on Syrian air base and warned that it might not be over.
About this at an emergency Security Council meeting April 7, said the U.S. permanent representative to the UN, Nikki Haley, the Agency “UKRINFORM”.
“Last night, the United States has taken a very metered-dose step. We are ready to do more, but we hope that this will not be necessary. Now is the time for all civilized countries to stop the horrors taking place in Syria and requires a political solution,” said Hayley.
She stressed that not only the Syrian regime responsible for chemical attack in Idlib. According to her, it is necessary to ask also with Iran and Russia, which cover criminal actions of the Assad regime.
“The Iranian government has a great responsibility. It has for many years supported and covered up a brutal dictator in Syria,” said Haley .
The Russian government also shares the blame, she said. “Every time Assad crossed the line of human decency, Russia was standing next to him. We had hoped that the Security Council will move to their decisions, but Russia has stated – and it happened seven times, which uses its veto power, once again, shielding the Assad regime,” stated Haley.
The envoy also underlined that the strengthening of Assad will only lead to more murders. Therefore, the United States will not allow it.
Haley said that the world expects from the Russian government responsible action in Syria, including revision of “inappropriate Union” with Bashar al-Assad.
“The United States will no longer expect Assad to use chemical weapons without any consequences. That time is gone, and now we have to move to a new stage, to move to a political resolution of this terrible conflict. We expect the Syrian regime and its allies will perceive the political process under the auspices of the UN seriously, what has yet happened,” – said the U.S. Permanent representative to the UN.
