TOUS 4699 Syrie l AIEA revele qu un reacteur nucleaire deAssad etait presque acheve

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) asserts that the regime of Bashar al-Assad had built a secret nuclear reactor in Deir ez-Zor, nearly completed before its destruction by Israel in 2007. According to its director, Rafael Grossi, its design would have allowed for the rapid production of fissile materials potentially usable for manufacturing nuclear weapons. The IAEA emphasizes, however, that the exact intentions of the Syrian regime remain difficult to ascertain.
