Șeful agenției ONU pentru energie atomică, despre reactorul secret descoperit în Siria: Era configurat pentru astfel de arme
The head of the IAEA stated that a secret Syrian facility was configured for nuclear weapons production. Rafael Grossi noted that the unfinished reactor was designed for efficient material production suitable for nuclear arms. The IAEA is currently investigating Syria's nuclear program from the Assad era, having recently discovered previously unknown stocks of uranium and nuclear fuel rods. In 2007, Israel destroyed a nearly completed reactor site. Grossi highlighted the contrast between Syria's transparency and Iran's lack of cooperation with the IAEA, suggesting that Syria's approach could serve as a lesson for others.
