The United States is warning that it is ready to act in Syria to end chemical attacks and “inhuman suffering” if Russia, Iran, and Syria continue to allegedly ignore a 30-day cease-fire approved by the United Nations.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told the UN Security Council late on March 12 that a cease-fire the council approved two weeks ago “has failed” and the United States was offering a new 30-day truce that she said has “no counterterrorism loopholes” and will be harder for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and others to ignore.
