The United States, along with France and Britain, launched military strikes on Friday against three sites the Trump administration said were part of Syria’s chemical weapons program.

The administration said the attacks were in response to a suspected chemical attack by Syria that killed more than 40 people near Damascus.

“The three facilities are — or more appropriately, were — the fundamental components of the regime’s chemical weapons warfare infrastructure,” Lt. Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff director, said at a news conference Saturday morning.

But General McKenzie acknowledged that the Syrian government most likely retained some ability to attack its own people with chemical agents. And administration officials briefing reporters Saturday afternoon were careful not to claim that the facilities were actively in use at the time of the attack.

One of these sites was “the primary location of Syrian sarin and precursor production equipment,” Gen. Joseph E. Dunford Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a news conference Friday night.

The other site “contained both a chemical weapons storage facility and an important command post,” General Dunford said.

This site was a military research facility near Damascus and a center for the development and production of chemical and biological weapons said Defense Department officials. There were previously three buildings at this site, and now there is “nothing but rubble,” according to the Pentagon.
