🚨 IRAN 🇮🇷 x AFRICA 🌍: Uranium, Drones, and Rising Tensions
The U.S. is sounding the alarm: Iran may be reshaping Africa’s strategic landscape — and fast.
🧪 What’s happening?
Tehran has allegedly secured 300 tons of yellowcake uranium from Niger — enough to build 30 nuclear bombs, according to Fox News. Price tag? $56 million.
At the same time, Iran is accused of violating UN arms embargoes by supplying drones to conflict zones like Sudan. U.S. Senator Jim Risch warns:
“The long arm of Iranian terror extends into Africa.”
📍 Why now?
Since Niger’s military government took power in 2023, the country:
– Cut ties with the West
– Nationalized uranium mines
– Ended military deals with the U.S.
– Allegedly engaged in uranium-for-drones deals with Iran
🇮🇷 Iran, now exploiting mines directly in Imouraren, seems to be expanding influence in Africa, filling the vacuum left by waning Western power.
⚖️ The stakes are massive:
➡️ Is Africa becoming the next great-power battleground?
➡️ Are these moves truly threatening — or used to justify deeper foreign intervention?
➡️ What risks lie ahead for nations caught in the middle?
🧠 Stay sharp — geopolitics meets resources meets military tech.
👇 What’s your take on this global chessboard?
