...under the agreement & the extent of its ability to withstand the pressures it is exposed to by the US and its Western allies.
sana.sy/en/?p=265855
Attia considered that this serious challenge does not concern Syria only, but is a global problem of a systematic nature, because the organization has turned into a tool for political manipulation.

Attia noted that Syria faced a historically unprecedented campaign of skepticism and false accusations of not cooperating with the organization and its technical secretariat.

The representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Syrian Arab Republic have both condemned the politicization of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) amid ongoing allegations of chemical weapons use in Syria.

Majid Takht Ravanchi stressed that: “Politicizing the implementation of the CWC & exploiting OPCW for politically driven national goals bring about major negative consequences for the Convention’s authority & credibility as well as those of Organization.”
thecradle.co/Article/News/7…
“We renew our call for complete, effective, and non-discriminatory implementation of the Convention, as well as the preservation of the OPCW’s authority,” the Iranian official went on to add.
thecradle.co/Article/News/7…
Ravanchi noted that the militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), previously known as Jabhat al-Nusra, had used chemical weapons in the past in order to place the blame on the Syrian government.
thecradle.co/Article/News/7…
Qusay al-Dahhak, the Syrian Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, echoed such concerns, noting that Syria voluntarily destroyed its remaining chemical weapons stockpiles on 14 October 2013, joining the CWC.
thecradle.co/Article/News/7…
Mint Press News reported in early 2019 that mainstream media outlets had finally confirmed what alternative media journalists had previously revealed, which is that the alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma on 7 April 2018 were entirely staged.
mintpressnews.com/as-mainstream-…
Well-known BBC Syria producer Riam Dalati shocked his nearly 20,000 twitter followers by stating that after a “six-month investigation” he has concluded, “I can prove without a doubt that the Douma Hospital scene was staged.”
mintpressnews.com/bbc-producer-s…
James Harkin – a reporter for the Guardian, Harper’s, and Financial Times – visited Douma and confirmed in his findings that no sarin gas had been used and that the scenes from the hospital, considered as evidence for the atrocity, were staged.
thecradle.co/Article/News/7…
"A preliminary report published Friday by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) found no traces of any nerve agent at the site of a suspected chemical attack in the Syrian city of Douma."

BBC producer Riam Dalati also cast doubt onto the official narrative surrounding the alleged events in Douma, after a six month investigation.
emergingphoton.com/2019/02/bbc-pr… ImageImage
Robert Fisk, journalist for The Independent, also visited Douma and became one of the first mainstream journalists to question the OPCW narrative regarding the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government.
independent.co.uk/voices/douma-s…
Despite many journalists challenging the official Douma narrative using evidence obtained on-the-ground, the accusations against the Syrian government by international organizations have not changed.
thecradle.co/Article/News/7…
BBC has admitted that a Radio 4 documentary on an alleged chemical weapon attack in Syria contained serious inaccuracies.....journalist Chloe Hadjimatheou failed to meet the Corporation's editorial standards for accuracy by reporting false claims.

Pentagon's Tower 22 'logistics support base' is secretly drone base

What was described by the Pentagon as a "logistics support base" turns out to be a secret drone base for long-range surveillance of fighters in neighboring Syria and Iraq and for conducting airstrikes. Image
Talking to The Intercept, an Air Force airman, whose unit was recently stationed at the base, said, “To call Tower 22 a logistics support base is complete bullshit,” as logistics was only a minor part - or a disguise - to merely deliver food and fuel to the nearby al-Tanf base. Image
“The main purpose of Tower 22 is to operate drones to spy on insurgents in Iraq and Syria, for targeting purposes,” the airman added, noting, “The main objective I witnessed was taking out targets.”
