Jane’s: Syria Agrees to Hide Iranian Nuclear Materials

December 20, 2005 :: Jane's Information Group :: News

Syria has agreed to store Iranian nuclear materials should Tehran come under UN sanctions, reports Jane’s Defence Weekly. According to Jane’s, Syria has committed “to allow Iran to safely store weapons, sensitive equipment or even hazardous materials on Syrian soil should Iran need such help in a time of crisis.” The agreement is said to be part of a larger Iranian-Syrian strategic accord meant to protect either country from international pressure. For instance, Iran has pledged to grant safe haven to any Syrian intelligence officer indicted by the UN or Lebanon regarding the Hariri assassination. Likewise, Syria is obligated to continue supplying the Iran-sponsored terrorist group Hizbullah with weapons, ammunition, and communications. The Iranian-Syrian accord, negotiations of which began in 2004, was signed by both parties on November 14, 2005, in preparation for possible sanctions imposed on either state.
