Syria begins destruction of Assad-era chemical weapons
Syria has begun a process for the first time in over a decade to destroy chemical materials dating back to the era of former President Bashar al-Assad, aimed at protecting the region and the world from the transfer of these weapons to illicit actors. Syria, in cooperation with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), has destroyed 42 aerial bombs containing chemical substances, reflecting progress in depleting the country's chemical arsenal since 2014. The United States, China, and Russia have praised this development, considering it an important step towards strengthening international peace and security and reducing risks, while Washington continues to pressure Damascus to maintain cooperation.
