And a counter-terror expert says World War Three could break out if Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad uses deadly nerve gas Sarin on civilians.

Unconfirmed footage shows clouds of gas that reports could be the lethal nerve agent.

In April President Donald Trump ordered US forces to launch 59 missiles at a Syrian government airbase after a sarin gas attack on the town of Khan Sheikhun.

Retired US Army Special Forces sergeant Jim Hanson told the broadcaster: "If this is confirmed to be an attack by the Syrian army using chemical weapons, it puts President Trump in a difficult position."

He added: "To an extent Syria is a puppet state of Russia.

"It's hard to believe Assad would go an authorise any form of chemical weapons attack without the assent of the Russians.

"That puts President Trump in a position of having to stare down the Russian Bear again and point out we're not going to tolerate that."

When asked if the issue could spiral into a wider conflict he said it could - and Trump needs to tread carefully.

He said: "President Trump will be a little bit, not tentative - he's not a tentative guy, any decisions will be decisive.

"It may not be another attack, it may NOT be a rain of Hellfire and Tomahawk missiles coming down.

"It may be something that happens behind the scenes.

Doctors said the six wounded were suffering from respiratory problems, rashes and unreactive pupils, all of which pointed to a chlorine attack.

Ghanem Tayara, president of the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations, accused the international community of doing nothing to prevent the Assad regime using chemical weapons on civilians.

"Perpetrators must be held accountable," Dr Tayara said after the attack.

Some 400,000 locals have been under siege from Russian-backed government forces since 2013.

There have been a number of reports of chlorine gas attacks since Syria's civil war broke out, but the government has always denied using chemical agents.

Home to some 400,000 people, Eastern Ghouta has remained under a crippling siege by the Bashar Assad regime since late 2012.

It falls within a network of de-escalation zones - endorsed by Turkey, Russia and Iran - in which acts of aggression are prohibited.
