(MENAFN) The US has issued sanctions against hundreds of Syrian scientists and officials for their role in developing chemical weapons.
In detail, the measures come after a poison gas attack killed over 80 people in a rebel-held province.
Consequently, the Trump administration blacklisted hundreds of employees of a Syrian government agency.
The punishment comes what Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said was the use of sarin gas on civilians in early April.
