Syria Agrees to Give Inspectors Immediate Access to Suspected Former Nuclear Sites, UN Watchdog Says
- Syria's new government agreed on Wednesday to give UN nuclear inspectors immediate access to suspected former nuclear sites, including the Deir el-Zour reactor location.
- This agreement follows the December fall of Bashar al-Assad and ongoing IAEA efforts since then to restore access to sites linked to Syria's clandestine nuclear program.
- The nuclear reactor, destroyed by Israeli airstrikes in 2007 and built by North Korea, was described by the IAEA as not configured for electricity but likely connected to weapons-grade plutonium efforts.
- IAEA Director Rafael Grossi stated that the organization seeks to fully understand past events that are believed, based on the agency's assessment, to have connections to nuclear weapons, and intends to conduct inspections at the reactor site along with three additional locations.
- The access signals Syria's new government's commitment to international cooperation and could enable rebuilding health infrastructure while addressing concerns including the fate of enriched uranium.
