The Syrian government said on Wednesday that claims by the United States and France that it was still using chemical weapons were lies.
The statement comes a day after U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the Syrian government may still be using chemical weapons, following a suspected chlorine attack in the rebel enclave of eastern Ghouta on Monday. On Wednesday, Russia also slammed the U.S. for unacceptable accusations that it was involved in a chemical attack in eastern Syria.
