Haley threatens Russia, Syria, Iran over alleged chemical weapons threat
2018-09-14
[AlMasdar] In a video interview with Fox News on Wednesday, the U.S. Ambassador to the Unied Nations, Nikki Haley
...Trump administration's ambassador to the UN. First woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley was the youngest governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems...
, issued a stern warning to the governments of Russia, Syria, and Iran about using chemical weapons.

Haley told Fox News that the U.S. has repeatedly warned these three nations about using chemical weapons, adding that Washington will decisively strike culprits if it happens again.

"What we told, you know, the Syrians, the Russians and the Iranians was, well, twice we have warned you not to use chemical weapons; twice you have used it, and twice President Trump has acted. Don’t test us again. Because I think the odds are very much against them," Haley said.

She also recalled that the issue of the Syrian government troops allegedly preparing a chemical weapons attack on civilians was discussed at three meetings of the UN Security Council, where most of its members ostensibly cautioned Russia against conducting any such attack in Syria.

Haley’s remarks came just a few days after she warned Russia and Iran of "dire consequences" if they continue Arclight airstrikes against Death Eater-held areas in Syria’s Idlib province, adding that the US would respond to any use of chemical weapons there.

"I also want to reiterate what I said last week to the Assad regime and anyone else contemplating the use of chemical weapons in Syria. The United States followed through when we said that we would respond to the use of chemical weapons. We stand by this warning," she noted.
