We can't let use of chemical weapons stand - Cameron

UK Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament to discuss possible responses to the allegations of chemical weapons use by the Syrian government.

The Prime Minister said:
"What we have seen in Syria are appalling scenes of death and suffering because of the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime. I don't believe we can let that stand."
Meanwhile, Iran, in response to US Secretary of State John Kerry's statement has warned against military intervention by the West.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Abbas Araqchi said:
"We want to strongly warn against any military attack in Syria. There will definitely be perilous consequences for the region. These complications and consequences will not be restricted to Syria. It will engulf the whole region."
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to talks of the possibility of more spill-over and retaliation attacks into Israel saying “we will respond, and respond with force.”
