Secret report exposes Assad's hidden nuclear cache

A secret report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) revealed that the former Syrian regime was constructing a nuclear reactor in Deir Ezzor without informing the agency. The facility contained approximately 73 tons of natural uranium. Inspectors visited the site in August 2023 and confirmed that the cooling infrastructure matches that of a nuclear reactor, despite its destruction by Israel in 2007 and the previous non-cooperation of Syrian authorities. Investigations also uncovered three related sites linked to the main location, involved in fuel manufacturing and nuclear material storage. The report indicated that Syria was producing fuel for the reactor but had not officially declared these facilities and nuclear materials. The IAEA continues to monitor the site and the nuclear materials present, praising the transparency and cooperation of the new Syrian authorities, while the issue of Iranian uranium remains a matter of international concern.
