United States officials said the crematorium was built to hide evidence of Assad's political executions in Sednaya - "an effort to cover up the extent of mass atrocities" there, Jones said.
The State Department said Monday it believes that about 50 detainees are hanged each day at the Saydnaya military prison, a 45-minute drive north of Damascus.
"The [Assad] regime must stop all attacks on civilian and opposition forces".
He also said Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had raised concerns about Assad's brutality with Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during his visit to Washington last week.
Tensions between the United States and Russian Federation heightened after President Trump ordered a cruise missile strike in April against a Syrian air base that the United States said had been used to launch a poison gas attack on civilians.
The Trump led government has enrolled themselves in a meeting which is going to held in Saudi Arabia later this week.
In Washington DC, on Monday morning, the United States have pointed the massive scale mass killing of Syrian people by their government and even ISIS. His administration now says Assad can not bring long-term stability to Syria.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said on Tuesday that the "Assad regime has sunk to a new level of depravity". The photos allegedly show construction over the course of several years at Saydnaya that would be consistent with a crematorium, with features like ventilation equipment, a discharge stack and a firewall.
He did not give an official estimate for the total number killed, but cited an Amnesty International report that between 5,000 and 11,000 had died between 2011 and 2015 in the prison.
The Syrian regime has also systematically targeted eastern Aleppo's hospitals and made a practice of abducting civilians, Jones said.
Dozens of people, including at least ten children, have been killed and more than 200 injured in a suspected chemical attack in northern Syria, multiple activist groups claim. Beyond authorizing cruise missiles in response, however, he didn't outline a strategy to eliminate the threat. "And these atrocities have been carried out seemingly with the unconditional support from Russian Federation and Iran". He didn't outline how such a future might become imaginable.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it has recorded the first fatalities inside the country's four "de-escalation zones" since the agreement came into effect 10 days ago. Though it's impossible to rule out the State Department's accusations being true, it's hard to treat them as credible in the absence supporting evidence. "And Russia must bear responsibility to ensure regime compliance". "Simply put, the killing, the devastation has gone on for far too long in Syria".
The Trump administration is accusing Syria of burning thousands of bodies at a prison near Damascus to cover up mass murders. The photos showed a site outside of Damascus that appeared to be used as a crematorium, not unlike the ones German Chancellor Adolf Hitler used.
