British Prime Minister Theresa May's senior ministers agreed on the need for action at a Cabinet meeting on Thursday, but Downing Street did not specify what measures the United Kingdom would take.
It claims photos showing victims of the alleged gas attack are faked.
There were signs of a global effort to head off a direct confrontation between Russian Federation and the West. France is already involved in the US -led coalition created in 2014 to fight the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.
"The situation in Syria is horrific, the use of chemical weapons is something the world has to prevent", he said.
The US administration has however been quick to state that a final decision on whether the US plans to take military action has not yet been reached.
President Emmanuel Macron said France had proof that the Syrian government had launched chlorine gas attacks in recent days, adding that his government would not tolerate "regimes that think everything is permitted", though he stopped short of saying whether France was planning military action.
But the pinpoint strike did not deter Assad and United States officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, have since investigated as many as 10 suspected chemical attacks.
His latest tweet, on Thursday evening, said: "Never said when an attack on Syria would take place".
There was no official government announcement that Douma had been recaptured and no indication that Syrian forces had yet entered the town, where Russian military police were deployed to preserve the peace after an evacuation fraught with difficulties.
It's possible the locations lie far from Russian forces, and therefore carry a low risk of escalating tensions with Russia, but Trump's White House has said it's not afraid to target Russian assets.

Kamal to PM Modi: People are more important than elections

Russian lawmakers earlier warned the United States that Moscow would view an airstrike on Syria as a war crime, saying it could trigger a direct military clash between the two former Cold War adversaries.
The high-level communication came after a two-hour meeting of senior ministers on the Prime Minister's "War Cabinet", in which she won their backing for action against Bashar Assad.
"We're looking very, very seriously, very closely, at that whole situation", the President said from the Cabinet Room. Russia, which is fighting alongside the Syrian army, threatened to down any missiles. A U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer, the USS Donald Cook, is in the Mediterranean.
Trump is reportedly considering options, including the "missiles" he hinted at on Wednesday.
The Syrian conflict has increasingly widened the rifts between Moscow, Washington and European powers and inflamed the bitter rivalries that run across the Middle East.
Rep. Adam Smith, the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said he sees no legal justification for a USA strike in Syria, absent explicit authorization by Congress.
The response is typical of a prime minister renowned for her methodical, cautious approach to crises who has been forced to build consensus among a divided party while leading a minority government.
At the House hearing, Democrats grilled Mattis on the wisdom and legality of Trump ordering an attack on Syria without explicit authorization from Congress. Mattis argued it would be justified as an act of self-defense, with 2,000 United States ground troops in Syria; he insisted he could not talk about military plans because an attack "is not yet in the offing". He also gave the Syrian leader a new nickname: "Animal Assad".
That, in part, may be the reason Trump sent his threatening tweet early on Wednesday.
Formally, the prime minister has the right to go to war without approval from parliament, but a convention has been established in previous conflicts where MPs have a vote either before or shortly after military action begins. "If we want to do that, we the Western partners can not diverge in our approaches". Western threats endanger global peace and security, Assad said, and military action would only contribute to the "further destabilization" of the region. But John Woodcock, who is chairman of the Labour's backbench foreign affairs committee, said he expected many in the party would defy Mr Corbyn if he tried to block action.
