The man in the photo above is Bashar Jaafari, Syria's representative to the United Nations.

On the 7th of this month, the town of Duma in the Eastern Ghouta region controlled by Syrian opposition forces suffered a suspected poison gas attack, which killed more than 70 people. The Syrian opposition, as well as Western countries such as the United States and Britain, immediately stood up and accused the Syrian government forces of using chemical weapons to attack innocent Syrian civilians on such a large scale.

On the 9th, an emergency meeting on Syria's chemical weapons and related issues was held at the United Nations. The member states participating in the meeting had a fierce debate on the matter. At that time, the above Syrian representative to the United Nations angrily denounced the United States and some other countries for launching aggressive wars against other countries on the grounds of lies and their bad deeds. He also specifically mentioned the war against Iraq launched by the United States in his speech. He said: The investigation into Iraq's possession of weapons of mass destruction has not found any evidence to this day. Jafari also said in a slightly teasing tone in his speech: According to the video information provided by the "White Helmets" (the Syrian Civil Defense Organization), "this chemical weapon has even learned to distinguish between armed and unarmed personnel." Because in the battle video released by the "White Helmets", the "chemical weapons" that were accused of being used by the Syrian government forces never attacked the anti-government armed forces on the side, but were used specifically to massacre Syrian civilians, especially children and women. Moreover, the so-called "rescuers" who appeared in the video did not need to wear protective clothing to participate in rescue at the scene of the "chemical weapons" attack.
