The French president has said a vote by UK MPs against involvement in military strikes on Syria has not changed France's resolve to take firm action, SIA reports citing BBC.
Francois Hollande said all options were being considered, and that a strike within days was not ruled out.
His comments came after US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said Washington would continue to seek a coalition for possible military action.
However, Germany said it would not participate in military action.
Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told the Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung newspaper that "such participation has not been sought nor is it being considered".
Russia welcomed the UK parliament's vote, saying it reflected a growing public understanding of the dangers of an attack.
Washington accuses Damascus of using chemical weapons - which it denies.
Meanwhile UN inspectors investigating suspected chemical weapons attacks in Syria were seen leaving their hotel, apparently to visit a hospital in a government-controlled area of Damascus.
The experts are due to finish their work later on Friday and give their preliminary findings to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Saturday.
