Inside Story What influence does Iran have in Africa?
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is on a three-country African tour, hoping to forge new alliances. Published on 12 July 2023. The Iranian president is visiting Africa to increase trade and economic ties – with stops in Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe. It’s a different approach for a country that for years has focused mostly on the Middle East and parts of Asia. Faced with United States sanctions, it appears Tehran is now increasingly looking elsewhere to diversify its economy. But are there other factors at play?
