VIENNA, Sept 1 (Reuters) – The U.N. nuclear watchdog has ​resolved its ‌outstanding questions in its investigation into past, secret nuclear activities in ‌Syria ​under the ⁠Assad family’s ⁠rule, a confidential report by the agency seen by Reuters ​said on Tuesday.

A separate, ⁠quarterly International ⁠Atomic Energy Agency ​report on Iran ​also sent to member ‌states and seen by Reuters showed there had again ⁠been no progress in Iran, where its lack ⁠of ‌access to ⁠verify uranium stocks ​since ‌U.S. and ​Israeli attacks ⁠in June 2025 remained a “proliferation concern”.
