## Prediction

Within 24 hours, the reported US-brokered deal to remove nuclear-related materials from Syria’s clandestine Site 99 is likely to see at least initial on-site activity or IAEA coordination, even if kept off public schedules. The parties will prioritize rapid extraction of yellowcake and sensitive remnants to minimize theft or sabotage risks amid Syrian instability. Successful implementation will slightly relax Israeli and Turkish proliferation anxieties and reduce the risk of radiological material entering illicit networks. Evidence would include IAEA flight movements, restricted zones around the site, or carefully worded confirmations from Vienna or Washington; a strong public denial by any party coupled with no observed movement would weaken this forecast.

## Drivers

- WARNING of U.S.-mediated agreement to strip Syria’s Site 99 of nuclear material
- CENTCOM note of tense but below-open-hostilities environment suitable for discreet operations
- Priority to reduce nuclear risk in volatile theater
