The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed the discovery of several tons of nuclear material at a previously undisclosed site in Syria, following a recent disclosure by the Syrian government. The material, linked to the era of former leader Bashar al-Assad, has raised concerns about the country’s past nuclear ambitions and adherence to international safeguards. IAEA Director Rafael Grossi commended Syria for its transparency, calling the move courageous, while emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and verification efforts.
