New findings from the IAEA raise concerns about Syria's undeclared nuclear program under Assad, which had similarities to North Korea's reactor and could produce weapons-grade plutonium.

Donald Trump's statements imply that Iran's nuclear facilities are under surveillance, warning that rebuilding the enrichment program would cross a red line and could lead to military action.

Syria has begun the internationally-verified destruction of Assad-era chemical materials, signaling progress in disarmament efforts.

Syria has renewed its commitment to cooperate with the IAEA and allowed access to the Deir ez-Zor site after 18 years, indicating a move towards transparency.

Criticism is directed at the Assad regime for past statutory violations, undeclared nuclear material, and the deployment of chemical weapons, with doubts remaining over their declarations.
