Zimbabwe denies media reports on uranium export to Iran
Zimbabwe on Saturday rejected a report by British Newspaper Times concerning signing up a secret contract between Harare and Tehran to export uranium to Iran, calling it a story made up by the western media, IRNA reported.According to the report of South Africa News Agency, Zimbabwe's Minister of Mines and Mining Development Obert Moses Mpofu said, "We are free to trade with all countries, but the Ministry has not signed any contract about uranium with Tehran". He added this is the kind of story and misinformation usually made by the western media. Mpofu went on to say when Zimbabwe is a free country, why should it sign a secret trade contract? Times wrote Friday that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to export uranium to Iran had been signed last year between Harare and Tehran, in spite of serious warning of Washington.
