IAEA Seeks Access to Suspected Nuclear Sites in Syria Following Constructive Response from Authorities
DEFENSE
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) plans to access suspected nuclear sites in Syria this year, particularly in Deir ez-Zor, where a site linked to a potential nuclear reactor was bombed by Israel in 2007. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi highlighted that remnants of the previous nuclear program remain unsecured, posing a proliferation risk, and noted a constructive response from Syrian authorities regarding inspections. Addressing these nuclear concerns will be a priority for the IAEA in 2025.
