Open Question

Which Syrian official currently heads the Syrian Space Agency: the one named in its own infobox, or the different one named in its own article text?

Facts
Why It Is Open
The Syrian Space Agency own Wikipedia article names two different people as the Syrian Minister of Communications and Technology who oversees the agency: the infobox Agency executive field names Abdul Salam Haykal, while the article own body text names Iyad Mohammad al-Khatib in the same role. Nothing on the page reconciles the two names, and Syria government changed in late 2024, so a stale edit on one side of the page is plausible but unconfirmed. 1
What Would Resolve This
A dated official Syrian government or state media announcement naming the sitting Minister of Communications and Technology, or a corrected, internally consistent Wikipedia revision, would settle which name is current. 1
