Anthony Cordesman, the CSIS Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy, was quoted by the Christian Science Monitor, "With Syria 'Reactor' Video, U.S. Sends a Warning."
Washington - US intelligence officials have a message for potential nuclear proliferators: We're watching you, and we see more than you think.
"This is very striking data to make public. It's clearly intended as a broader message to both the Syrian and North Korean governments," says Anthony Cordesman, a senior military analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
It is also possible that the US is sending a warning to Iran, says Mr. Cordesman. If Syria was developing a nuclear-weapons program, it would need fissile fuel for the reactor, a means of processing spent fuel, and design help, as well as the reactor itself.
