A statement from the office of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria said the American missile strikes, which President Trump said were a response to a chemical weapons attack in Idlib Province on Tuesday
that left more than 80 people dead, was the result of “a false propaganda campaign.”
Syria has denied that it possesses chemical weapons, and Russia held to its view that Mr. Assad had not bombed his own people.
The statement from Mr. Assad’s office said that the American missile strikes revealed “shortsightedness and political and military blindness to reality,” and
that they had only increased Syria’s determination to eliminate what it said were terrorists, “wherever they are on Syrian territory.”
Mr. Peskov said that the cruise missile strikes on Friday represented a “significant blow” to American-Russian ties, and
that Mr. Putin considered the attack a breach of international law that had been made under a false pretext.
