The IAEA Board of Governors ended its investigation into Syria's past undeclared nuclear activities and terminated the 2011 non-compliance finding. [1] The Washington Post filed the Wednesday vote. [1] Al Arabiya filed Syria no longer under the probe. [2] A closed file is not a weapons verdict. Print ended. Do not print a bomb.

Material now under safeguards remains in Syria. Verification continues. Leave a named Dair Alzour excavation table to the edition that owns a named excavation table. A Sarmada depot blast on this page is leftover munitions, not this Board vote.

Print ended. Print not a warhead. Wednesday is not a nuclear finding.

A closed file remains a Board vote, not a warhead on this Wednesday politics desk.
Safeguards continue.
Wednesday is not a nuclear finding.
Closed files at the IAEA mean verification satisfied the Board, not that history is settled. Dair Alzour's excavation waits its turn. Wednesday ends the file; safeguards continue.

Ended files close; Wednesday closes one. Closing is the update. Safeguards continue.

Wednesday ends a closed file, not a warhead. Dair Alzour's excavation waits. Verification satisfied the Board.

Wednesday closes a file, not a warhead. Safeguards continue. History is not settled.

Syria's 2011 non-compliance file ended at the Board, with material left under safeguards. Closing a probe is not clearing a warhead. Dair Alzour's dirt still waits on a trench. The Idlib dump on another page is not this vote.
A Board vote is not a warhead clearance. History is not settled. Syria's 2011 file ended at the Board.

History is not settled. Wednesday's IAEA vote is not a warhead clearance. Wednesday's Board vote is not a warhead.
