国际原子能机构负责人拉斐尔·格罗西在维也纳理事会会议后表示，叙利亚前领导人巴沙尔·阿萨德时期秘密建造的核反应堆若完工，将"在生产可直接用于核武器制造的裂变材料方面非常高效"1。2024年12月阿萨德政权被推翻后，新政府允许国际原子能机构检查员进入疑似核设施。检查人员于8月访问了包括迪尔埃祖尔在内的两处地点1。
检查团队在这些地点发现了约73吨天然铀金属，已被验证并置于国际原子能机构的保障措施下1。检查人员确认了冷却基础设施与核反应堆的一致性1。格罗西指出，检查员需要"拆除墙壁"才能到达隐藏的核材料1。叙利亚于7月17日的信函中首次通知国际原子能机构该设施存在，并邀请其进行检查1。根据以色列2008年的公开承认，这一设施曾在1997年遭到该国的秘密空袭1。
The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed that a nearly completed nuclear reactor secretly built in Syria under former leader Bashar al-Assad could have produced fissile material suitable for nuclear weapons if it had been finished.1 Following Assad's overthrow in December 2024, Syria's new government granted IAEA inspectors access to suspected nuclear facilities for the first time.1
During inspections conducted in August, IAEA officials visited two locations, including one in Deir ez-Zour, where they discovered approximately 73 tonnes of natural uranium metal, which has since been placed under IAEA safeguards.1 Rafael Grossi, the head of the IAEA, stated after a board meeting in Vienna that the reactor was "very efficient" at producing fissile material "directly usable for nuclear weapons manufacturing."1 Inspectors found that the cooling infrastructure matched specifications for a nuclear reactor, further confirming its intended purpose.1 In some cases, Grossi noted that inspectors needed to "demolish walls" to access concealed nuclear materials at the sites.1
Syria formally notified the IAEA of the location on July 17 and invited inspectors to examine it.1 The reactor site had previously been struck in a secret Israeli airstrike in 1997, an operation Israel publicly acknowledged in 2008, more than a decade after the attack.1
