IAEA Confirms Undeclared Nuclear Reactor Infrastructure in Syria's Deir Ezzor Site
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that Syria, under former President Bashar al-Assad, failed to disclose nuclear materials and facilities, including a nuclear reactor under construction in Deir Ezzor. Inspectors confirmed the site's cooling infrastructure aligns with a nuclear reactor and identified related fuel fabrication and storage sites. The IAEA continues monitoring excavation progress. Syria's new government has cooperated with inspections and expressed interest in civilian nuclear energy under international safeguards.
