CNN learned about the definition of US targets for attacks on the case of chemotherapy in Syria
If the Syrian authorities launch an attack using chemical weapons and Trump will give an order to strike on the Arab Republic, prepared by US intelligence data on the objectives will be promptly handed over to the Pentagon, found CNN
US military intelligence specialists have compiled a preliminary list of Syrian sites in which, according to their data, Damascus stores chemical weapons and that could be hit if US President Donald Trump gave the order for new missile strikes. Several American officials told CNN about this.
So far, as one of the people familiar with the situation of the interlocutors of the channel pointed out, the decision on new strikes on the Arab republic has not been made. However, the US military, according to his information, "can react very quickly" if the Syrian authorities launch an attack using chemical weapons. In this case, as the CNN source noted, immediately after receiving an appropriate order from the US president, the collected data on the alleged targets will be transferred to the Pentagon.
US officials, according to the interlocutors of the television channel, are extremely concerned that the Syrian government forces are moving towards the strong point of the local opposition - Idlibu. There, according to CNN sources, the military can use chemical weapons against the rebels, if the oppositionists resist them and slow them down the province.
Over the past few weeks, the forces of Bashar Assad have transferred military helicopters closer to Idlib, told the channel two sources in the defense sphere. The US, CNN interlocutors pointed out in connection with this, are concerned that ultimately this technique can be used to conduct a chemical attack using chlorine-filled bombs.
In addition, Washington, as the channel found out, causes concern that the armed offensive of Syrian troops on the city can lead to thousands of victims. And this, as CNN's interlocutors stress, will only aggravate the humanitarian crisis along the border between Syria and Turkey.
The situation in the Syrian region continues to heat up amid reports that the US is ready to strike another blow on the Arab republic if Bashar Assad gives an order to use chemical weapons against his opponents. About this, as August 24 wrote, citing its sources Bloomberg, the American side has already warned Russia.
