  "summary": "The UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has reported progress in its investigation into past, secret nuclear activities in Syria under the Assad family's rule. According to a confidential report seen by Reuters, the agency has resolved its outstanding questions in this matter.\n\nIn contrast, the IAEA's quarterly report on Iran showed no progress, citing a lack of access to verify uranium stocks since US and Israeli attacks in June 2025, which remains a proliferation concern. This lack of access continues to be an issue, with no resolution reported.\n\nThe IAEA's reports on both Syria and Iran were sent to member states and obtained by Reuters. The agency's findings highlight the differing situations in the two countries regarding nuclear activities and verification.",
