It apparently went to Iran via Syria:

Syria in 2007 received approximately 45 tons of raw uranium from North Korea for use in producing fuel for a secret nuclear reactor, informed military and diplomatic sources told Kyodo News on Saturday

An Israeli air assault destroyed the undeclared reactor not long after Syria received shipment of the material and the "yellowcake" uranium is thought to have been sent to Iran in summer 2009, a Western diplomatic source said.

However, also according to GSN:

A Middle East military source, however, says that Damascus might actually have sent the uranium back to North Korea following the Israeli attack.
