Rather than make a bunch of other threads, here's the latest on Syria - namely that OPCW has confirmed (using separate labs) Sarin was used on 4 Apr. Also, that people from all four of the hopscotching villages were killed in the bus attack (relatives waiting on arriving buses).
(CNN)International chemical weapons inspectors have found "incontrovertible" evidence that Sarin gas, or a similar substance, was used in a chemical attack in Syria earlier this month that killed 89 people.

When the Syrian government dropped what the U.S. says were chemical munitions this month in the northwestern province of Idlib, it was targeting a rebel bastion that it helped create.

Madaya is a case study in the brutal strategy of the regime, which is summed up bluntly: “starve or kneel.” An estimated 1 million Syrians are suffering under similar conditions around the shattered country. The overwhelming majority are besieged by the regime.

there’s concern trolling, then there’s grave concern trolling
Rubio following the McCain model of needlessly getting himself into the news, just to get himself in the news.
OF COURSE with Iran and Russia aiding Assad the question of their complicity with Assad with chemical weapons comes up. What idiot does not think that??
So, Rubio makes news by stating the obvious???
On the other hand, it was known back in 2012 & 2013 that Assad had/has chemical weapons.
So, at this point what is the most likely case? Iran &/or Russia helping Assad make chemical weapons, or that he already had them. Definitely the latter.
Concerned, vis a vis Russia and Iran. Of course, but that goes without saying, chemical weapons or no chemical weapons, and besides, Assad already had them.
But the genius Rubio makes news anyway.
