IAEA to Remove Nuclear Material from Secret Syrian Site After US-Brokered Agreement
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is set to remove nuclear material from a secret Syrian site known as Site 99, linked to the nuclear program of former President Bashar al-Assad. This follows a US-brokered diplomatic agreement involving Syria, Israel, and the IAEA aimed at addressing concerns over leftover nuclear materials from the destroyed Al-Kibar reactor. The deal seeks to prevent regional escalation and involves cooperation among the parties to secure and remove the materials.
