Mr Johnson said there was no doubt that a bomb dropped from two Syrian U-22 planes which "took off from an airbase where chemical weapons have been stored" were behind the attack.
The US ambassador however added that a US commitment to the peace process was "not enough" and that Washington needed "partners who are serious about using their influence" over Syrian President Bashar Assad.
