Gros: Syria's uranium find linked to Iran talks
The International Atomic Energy Agency has made significant breakthroughs regarding the Syrian nuclear file, as inspectors verified the presence of 73 tons of natural uranium at sites that were previously closed, including a site formerly dedicated to producing fissile materials that could be used in nuclear weapons, located in Deir Ezzor, which Israel destroyed in 2007. The agency indicated that the current Syrian government has demonstrated a transparency option, reinforcing its efforts to reintegrate Syria into the international community. The report also confirmed that the former Syrian regime likely deliberately blew up some sites to conceal nuclear activities. The agency continues to monitor nuclear materials and their potential transfer outside the country based on discussions with the Syrian government. Regarding the Iranian file, Grossi pointed out that Iran is violating its obligations under safeguards agreements and obstructing inspections despite attacks on its facilities. He assured that the agency will continue working to ensure accurate oversight while restricting access to avoid jeopardizing staff safety. He further stated that technical understandings with Saudi Arabia are progressing, and the agency will need mechanisms to monitor potential nuclear activities, with any agreement requiring approval from the Agency's Board of Governors to ensure transparency and international consensus.
