President Hassan Rouhani earlier criticised his USA counterpart Donald Trump for the missiles fired early on Friday in response to the suspected chemical attack.
"We are prepared to do more, but we hope that will not be necessary", she told the U.N. Security Council.
President Trump has fallen for this scam and now the war machine is in motion.
"A lot of this is an emotional response, but nothing about this strike suggests that the fundamentals of the Syria conflict have shifted", said Noah Bonsey, a Syria analyst with the International Crisis Group.
"To me, it was a very clarifying moment for the president", Sen. It is an example that the president and secretary of state should follow. "Those who think that by supporting terrorists, they can change Syria's future in their interest, are absolutely wrong", Rouhani said.
"Lavrov stressed that an attack on a country whose government is fighting terrorism only plays into the hands of extremists [and] creates additional threats to regional and global security", it said.
In addition to allegations that government forces carried out the attack there were also assertions it was carried out by terrorists or rebels or that a warehouse where the deadly gas was illegally stored had accidentally exploded.
Tillerson said the chemical attack was preceded by two others in March.
The official Saudi Press Agency reported that King Salman complimented Trump in a telephone conversation for his "courageous decision".
"I discussed these plans in detail with Secretary Tillerson".

I think people unite when these things happen. "If you have been denied a visa you are supposed to leave the country". A truck that crashed into the Ahlens department store in central Stockholm is towed from the site early Saturday.
Trump laid part of the blame for the chemical attack on former President Barack Obama, saying the deaths were a "consequence of the past administration's weakness and irresolution".
"U.S. blasts Syria base with cruise missiles".
He went further in his address to the nation late Thursday after authorizing the air strikes, saying Assad "choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children". "Clearly they are Bashar Assad's current ally, they should have the greatest influence on Bashar Assad", he told Stephanopoulos, but he warned that Russian Federation should be "thinking carefully about its continued alliance with Bashar Assad". Aides reveal Trump was looking for something aggressive but "proportionate" that would be sufficient to send a signal. There are "a thousand reasons to make the China-US relationship work, and no reason to break it", Xi told Trump, according to Xinhua.
I have said it before and I'll say it again: regime change has NEVER worked; historically it has been tried over and over and over again, and every time it has been tried it failed.
The United States is vowing to keep up the pressure on Syria after the intense nighttime wave of missile strikes from us ships, despite the prospect of escalating Russian ill will that could further inflame one of the world's most vexing conflicts. But that chemical weapons attack appears to have had an impact on Donald Trump.

"The U.S. strike was a proportionate response to unspeakable acts that gave rise to overwhelming humanitarian distress", Rycroft said. And no one wants to put an American land army there. In other words, it is a notification rather than consultation. "This is a great opportunity for the Russian leadership to reevaluate what they are doing".
Torun said an air defense system can detect missile fire from 400 kilometers away and then destroy the missiles when they get into range. Aides describe it as a brief, matter-of-fact discussion.
Some allies renewed their calls for a leadership change in Damascus, although officials in the Trump administration did not portray the strikes as the start of a broader campaign. It is organised so swiftly that media are unable to broadcast it live. It was not immediately clear who carried out the strike.
"We are prepared to do more but we hope that will not be necessary", she said, adding that the "world is waiting for Russian Federation to act responsibly".
