Syria nuclear material removal plans leaked
American and Israeli officials revealed that the International Atomic Energy Agency will soon begin removing nuclear materials stored at a secret site inside Syria known as "Site 99." This follows secret understandings reached between the Trump administration and both Syria and Israel, aimed at preventing a potential nuclear crisis that could escalate into military conflict—especially since the Assad regime developed its clandestine nuclear program after the destruction of the Al-Kibar reactor in 2007. The nuclear materials stored there include "yellowcake" and remnants from the Al-Kibar site, but they cannot be used to manufacture a nuclear weapon; rather, they could be used to produce dirty bombs that might contaminate areas. Israel had been closely monitoring the site and threatened to strike it again if the materials were not transferred, after having targeted the site’s entrances following the fall of the Assad regime. It is believed that the removal process will be carried out with Syrian government approval, with assurances that the materials will not reach hostile parties, amid concerns that the Syrian government or Turkey might attempt to access them.
