Just yesterday the NZIV report (link below) published that Iraq is seeking to revive its nuclear project that was destroyed by Israel 43 years ago.
Now it turns out that President Assad also wants to revive the nuclear project that Israel destroyed for him in 2007.
The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, paid a visit to Syria, during which he met with President Assad, during which they discussed the "peaceful use of nuclear energy in Syria."
The Syrian news agency, SANA, reported that Grossi spoke with Assad about "cooperation in peace programs and projects, especially in the fields of health, cancer treatments, agriculture and scientific research", and noted that the director of the international agency emphasized the "importance of building an effective and continuous dialogue between the international agency to Syria".
The Syrian regime's foreign minister, Faisal al-Maqdad, also discussed with Grossi "the efforts made by the regime to increase cooperation with the agency, and how to remove the factors hindering this cooperation," according to SANA.
Reuters reported that the meeting with the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency came at the request of the president of the Syrian regime.
The director of the agency added: "We agreed to renew communication between the Syrian regime and the agency, with the aim of increasing confidence in the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in Syria for the benefit of the Syrian people."
Regarding the meeting with al-Maqdad, Grossi said: "We are ready to begin work on reviving a high-level dialogue between the agency and the Syrian regime, focusing on building trust in the peaceful use of nuclear energy in Syria."
(Doesn't this whole thing seem like an Iranian plot to provide nukes to all its proxy countries under the auspices of the UN?)
