Iran-Zimbabwe Uranium Deal
description
In a secret deal last month, Zimbabwe and Iran agreed to allow the Islamic Republic to mine uranium in the African nation. This will allow Iran to both replenish its diminished uranium supplies and allow it to advance its nuclear program. In exchange for access to this fissile material, Iran would supply the cash-strapped Zimbabwe with oil.
