UN closes Syria nuclear noncompliance file after 18-month diplomatic push

The UN nuclear watchdog has ended its finding that Syria was noncompliant with its safeguards obligations, following 18 months of technical and diplomatic efforts by Damascus. The decision removes a long-standing barrier to expanded peaceful nuclear cooperation with Syria, though details of the resolution remain undisclosed. This marks a notable shift in Syria's international rehabilitation and could open avenues for nuclear energy assistance.
