The United Nations has confirmed that the Assad regime in Syria used chemical weapons on civilians in April, validating the Trump administration’s decision to launch retaliatory airstrikes on an Assad airbase.
The Assad regime killed more than 100 people with sarin chemical weapons on April 4 in the Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun, and many of the victims were women and children. The Trump administration rapidly responded to the attack by launching close to 50 Tomahawk missiles from warships in the Mediterranean Sea, which struck an Assad airbase in Homs.
