Iran strikes secret nuclear mining deal with Zimbabwe's Mugabe regime
The agreement was sealed last month during a visit to Tehran by a close aide to Robert Mugabe, the Zimbabwean president who last weekend celebrated 30 years in power, The Sunday Telegraph has learned. In return for supplying oil, which Zimbabwe desperately needs to keep its faltering economy moving, Iran has been promised access to potentially huge deposits of uranium ore – which [in principle] can be converted into the basic fuel for nuclear power or enriched to make a nuclear bomb.
