According to him, for this purpose, a few days ago, the US destroyer "The Sullivans" equipped with 56 cruise missiles entered the Persian Gulf, and the B-1B strategic bomber equipped with 24 AGM-158 JASSM air-to-ground cruise missiles arrived at the "Al-Udeid" air base in Qatar.
The representative of the Ministry of Defense indirectly confirmed that the US and its allies are preparing for aggressive action against Syria, this is a baseless statement by high-ranking representatives of the United States and other countries about their intention to respond most strongly to the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government.
"Thus, the actions of Western countries contrary to their public statements aggravate the situation in the Middle East and disrupt the peace process in Syria," Konashenkov added.
