Syria's Nuclear Secret: A Legacy of Deception and International Cooperation The revelation by Rafael Mariano Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), that several tons of nuclear material have been found at a previously undisclosed site in Syria is a stark reminder of the country's troubled past.
For decades, the Assad regime has maintained secrecy around its nuclear activities, leaving behind a legacy of suspicion and mistrust.
The discovery itself is not surprising, given the IAEA's history of uncovering evidence of clandestine nuclear programs in various countries.
