Chemical
Weapons Provocation in Syria to Start September 8 - Russian MoD

September, 2018
Terrorists
in the rebel-held Syrian city of Idlib have almost completed their
preparations for a provocation involving chemical weapons, chief
spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense Major General Igor
Konashenkov stated Saturday.
According
to the general, leaders of the terrorist group Tahrir
al-Sham*, the Turkistan Islamic Movement and representatives of the
White Helmets met in Idlib on September 7 in order
to coordinate their participation in the upcoming false
flag operation.
"The
scenarios for the filming of staged ‘incidents’
with the alleged use of poisonous substances by Syrian
government troops against civilians in the settlements
of Jisr Al-Shugur, Serakab, Taftanaz, and Sarmin were finally
agreed upon during the meeting. The full readiness of all
participants involved in carrying out staged provocations
should be ensured by the evening of September 8. The signal
for the beginning of the practical phase of the
terrorists' provocation in the province of Idlib will be a
special team from some ‘foreign friends of the Syrian
revolution',” Konashenkov said.
Previously,
the Russian Defense Ministry reported that Tahrir al-Sham terrorists
were preparing a provocation in Syria's western Idlib province
in order to accuse Damascus of using chemical weapons
against civilians, while the UK, the US, and France said
in August that they "will respond appropriately to any
further use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime."
Idlib
province is a remaining stronghold of insurgency in the
country, being also one of Syria's de-escalation zones. Syrian
President Bashar Assad has
previously underlined that liberation of the province was
among the priorities for the Syrian military's operations.

Islamic Movement and Tahrir al-Sham (also known as Jabhat
al-Nusra, al-Nusra Front) are terrorist groups, banned
in Russia.
Terrorists
& White Helmets met in Idlib to prep for final stage false flag
chem attack – Russian MoD

The
Russian military has obtained “irrefutable” data that terrorist
groups, including Jabhat an-Nusra, and the infamous White Helmets met
in Idlib province on Sunday, according to the ministry’s
spokesperson Igor Konashenkov.
The
militants plotted the final scenarios for the chemical attacks that
the Syrian army are expected to make in the cities of Jisr
ash-Shugur, Serakab, Taftanaz and Sarmin, the Russian military
revealed.
“Full
readiness of all participants involved in the staging of the
provocations is be ensured by the evening of September 8,”
Konashenkov stated. He added that the terrorists are to receive a
“special” signal from some “foreign friends of Syrian
revolution” to launch the operation.
The
statement comes after earlier warnings from Moscow’s that militants
are preparing to stage a chemical attack in the Syrian province to
give the Western coalition a pretext to strike Syria. In August, the
Defense Ministry said that eight canisters of chlorine had been
delivered to a village near Jisr al-Shughur city, and that a
foreign-trained group of militants had also arrived in the area to
simulate a rescue operation after the staged attack.
The
US and its allies have repeatedly stressed its readiness to strike
Syria if any attack takes place, ignoring all Russia’s warnings.
Washington’s envoy to the UN Nikki Haley recently said that she
already knows the perpetrators in case a chemical incident takes
place in Syria.
In
late August, American forces deployed missile destroyer USS ‘Ross’
to the Mediterranean and USS ‘The Sullivans’ to the Persian Gulf.
The preparation of US military forces was condemned by Russia, with
its Defense Ministry describing the move as “the latest evidence of
the US intention” to take advantage of a false-flag attack.
On
Friday, leaders of the three countries involved in the so-called
“Astana process,” Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Russia’s
Vladimir Putin and Iran’s Hassan Rouhani, met in Tehran to discuss
the situation in Idlib and the rest of Syria. All three agreed that
radical Islamists pose a threat to Syria, but there was no unanimous
support for a major offensive in the terrorists’ last stronghold.
The final document of the summit called for all armed groups in Idlib
to lay down arms and seek a political transition in the country.
