Rogue nation update: Iran and Zimbabwe pleased with each other

It should be no surprise to any rational thinker that Iran and Zimbabwe like each other. But then again, both should be careful, as there is no honor among thieves--or rogue nations.

From the Iranian news agency Mehr:

In his visit on Wednesday with the Zimbabwean ambassador to Tehran, Iran’s Minister of Cooperatives Mohammad Nazemi Ardekani expressed satisfaction over the support Iran and Zimbabwe give each other in the international arena.

"We feel political, cultural and social affinities with Zimbabwe and this could be used as a basis for expanding trade relations between the two countries," the Persian service of IRNA quoted him as saying.

Referring to the conclusion of agreements on cooperation between the Islamic Republic and this south Central African country, the Iranian minister said, "both nations have signed a number of memorandums of understanding (MOU) on agriculture, industries and mines, energy, trade, tourism, building power plants and technical services.
