Damascus starts dismantling Assad's chemical arms
Syria has begun destroying a batch of chemical materials linked to the Bashar Assad regime, a move considered the first of its kind in over a decade, according to what Damascus announced during a United Nations Security Council session. This initiative is part of the disarmament and verification efforts carried out by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), and involves the destruction of 42 bombs from the chemical weapons stockpile. This step marks a political shift in Syria's approach to cooperating with the international community, following the discovery of secret materials and munitions dating back to the previous regime. It sends a message that Syria is choosing to adhere to its international commitments and to rid itself of weapons of mass destruction. However, this process faces obstacles from Israeli attacks that hinder the destruction operations and threaten the safety of inspection teams.
