BEIRUT, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Syria will host a delegation from the International Atomic Energy Agency in the coming days to announce "significant progress" on the issue of nuclear materials, Syria's Atomic Energy Commission said early on Tuesday, without providing further details. Syria is not known to hold operational stockpiles of nuclear material for a weapons program, but Israel bombed a suspected Syrian nuclear reactor in 2007 in the country's eastern province of Deir al-Zor. Citing Israeli and U.S. officials, Axios reported on Monday that the IAEA would soon remove nuclear material stored at a clandestine site in Syria after the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump reached understandings with both Syria and Israel. A Syrian official with knowledge told Reuters that discussions with the IAEA on the nuclear material file as a whole were still underway, and that "no final agreement has been concluded." The Syrian official said Syria was consulting with the IAEA to fulfill its own obligations and that "there is no Israeli role in this process."
