Did Assad regime pursue secret nuclear program
The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that Syria was constructing a nuclear reactor in Deir ez-Zor during the Assad regime's era, according to a confidential report. The report indicated that the infrastructure discovered aligns with that of an under-construction nuclear reactor, including a reactor fuel manufacturing plant and a site for storing uranium waste. Additionally, it revealed the presence of approximately 73 tons of natural uranium metal at another site recently disclosed. The agency emphasized that Syria concealed information about nuclear facilities and materials and stated that it continues to monitor the sites. The Syrian government expressed its willingness to cooperate with investigations and aims to develop a civilian nuclear program while ensuring that nuclear materials are subject to international oversight.
