West fears Iran will try to seize Syria's uranium stockpile
Nuclear experts believe that the Syrian uranium is enough for the
construction of at least five nuclear bombs; obtaining the uranium could
help the Iranians begin a secret enrichment program without the
international community's knowledge.
Amid the international community's concerns over Syria's possible use of
its chemical weapon arsenal against its citizens and the possible
transfer of those weapons to terror organizations, another worry has
been added: a stockpile of some 50 tons of uranium that are still held
by the Assad regime following the destruction of its planned nuclear
reactor.
