Zimbabwe is still assessing the size of its uranium reserves and isn’t planning exports of the mineral to Iran, a Zimbabwean minister said after a report that the nations signed an agreement for shipments of the nuclear-weapons ingredient.
“We are not selling or marketing any uranium to anyone at all, so we cannot talk of shipments to anyone,” Deputy Mining Minister Gift Chimanikire, a member of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, said today in a phone interview. The chairman of the state-owned Zimbabwe Mining Development Corp. echoed the minister’s comments.
