Zimbabwe denies uranium deal with Iran
Press TV – April 27, 2010
Zimbabwe has denied reports that it has signed an agreement allowing Tehran to mine uranium reserves in exchange for Harare’s access to oil from Iran.
A report by the UK-based Daily Telegraph claimed on Saturday that a deal had been reached between the two countries under which Iran would be allowed to mine potential uranium deposits in Zimbabwe to provide fuel for its nuclear reactors and in exchange Zimbabwe would get oil from Iran. The report said that the agreement was sealed secretly last month during a visit to Tehran by a close aide to Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe.
Industry and Commerce Minister Welshman Ncube on Monday rejected the report, saying there was no evidence suggesting that Zimbabwe had such deposits.
“It’s not true. No such agreement was signed,” said Ncube.
“There is no certainty that Zimbabwe has uranium deposits. You first have to prove that there are uranium deposits and that has not been done,” Reuters quoted him as saying. This comes as the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad paid an official visit to Zimbabwe last week.
During his visit, he met his counterpart Robert Mugabe, attended the official opening of Zimbabwe’s International Trade Fair and signed a number of trade and cooperation agreements in the areas of banking, finance and insurance. The Iranian president told reporters before his departure that the visit came as part of his administration’s plan to consolidate ties with African countries.

Mossad behind Italian ‘blackmail’ spying scandal
The Cradle | November 1, 2024
An Italian private intelligence firm that allegedly hacked government databases to collect information on thousands of prominent people, including politicians, entrepreneurs, and celebrities, is accused of working for Israeli intelligence and the Vatican, media reported on 30 October.
Police wiretaps leaked to Italian media show that Equalize, which employs former members of Italian intelligence, is accused of breaching the servers of government ministries and the police between 2019 and 2024 to collect information.
Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Equalize allegedly collected numerous classified files that contain sensitive information about prominent Italians to sell to clients – including major companies and law firms seeking information to gain an advantage over competitors, win court cases, or for blackmail and extortion.
Prime Minister Meloni described the alleged scheme as “unacceptable” and “a threat to democracy.” … continue

The only ‘unfortunate’ part of this, is that with Faux NOIZE out there pumping bullshit into the ears of so many ignorant and stupid f**k american’s heads, it wouldn’t surprise me that this puppet in the whore house will still attack Iran immediately after the November mid term elections are over with.
to you high ranking military officers out there, if this puppet does order an attack on Iran, it is your DUTY to immediately ARREST THE SON OF A BITCH and then weld his sorry ass in a Leavenworth, KS prison cell until you can try him for TREASON.
and this goes for his zionist veep, another Israeli knesset supporter.
Once again, it is getting close to the time when for the good of the country, sane, rational minds in the military need to consider marching up the steps of the whore house and arresting people for treason.
if they attack Iran before that’s done, there’ll be hell to pay globally, not just here in the U.S.
do your duty, you guys who aren’t owned and operated by the Military Industrial Complex who wear a uniform.
DO YOUR DUTY and PROTECT THE U.S. CONSTITUTION!!!!!!

While Iranian uranium deposits are not rich, they have more than enough for their needs. There certainly is no need to go to Zimbabwe to get more. Clearly this is a repeat of the rhetoric used about Iraq’s quest for yellowcake from Niger – and more than likely for the same reason!
