The Central Bank of Iran stated that it had taken delivery of 13 tons of gold in South Africa. This is concrete proof that Iran has bought gold to boost its reserves in recent years. As part of the negotiations for an agreement on nuclear, Iran was allowed to move gold from South Africa to its own private chapel. Little information has been published about the level of Iranian gold reserves, but it is clear that Iran sees gold as a significant part of its total reserves.
