Syrian military linked to more than 300 chemical attacks, vast majority took place after Obama drew his “red line” 🖍 washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
The GPPI analysis begins Dec. 23, 2012. But the vast majority of the attacks it cites took place after then president Obama’s 2013 declaration that use of chemical weapons against Syrian civilians would be his administration’s red line.
Trump has twice ordered military action against Syrian government targets in the wake of high-profile chemical attacks, one on the northern town of Khan Sheikhoun and the other in the Damascus suburb of Douma.
There has been no recorded use of chlorine weapons in Syria since Trump’s last U.S. missile strike on April 14, 2018.
