IAEA: Deir ez-Zor reactor close to completion
The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, stated that the Syrian Deir ez-Zor reactor was almost complete and could have been used to produce nuclear weapons, as it only required fuel loading to become operational. He noted that the reactor's design and technical characteristics make it highly efficient for producing fissile materials suitable for nuclear weapons manufacturing. Grossi also indicated ongoing suspicions of military objectives behind the program and the Syrian authorities' intent to conceal its true nature. He welcomed Syria's current cooperation with the agency, while the IAEA is now moving toward closing the Syrian nuclear file after discovering nuclear materials and a site for fuel production, despite the agency's rejection of investigating potential links with North Korea.
