Syria's Hidden Nuclear Program Details
The International Atomic Energy Agency revealed a secret report proving that previous Syrian authorities were constructing a nuclear reactor in Deir ez-Zor without informing the agency, in violation of their obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty safeguards agreement. The report confirmed that the site was under construction before being destroyed by Israel in 2007, and that Syrian authorities had not provided complete details about their nuclear facilities, despite evidence of uranium fabrication and nuclear material storage. During the inspectors' visit in 2024, approximately 73 tons of natural uranium were found at one site, with all materials currently under oversight. The report also commended Syria's new cooperation in revealing past nuclear activities.
