Iran continues to violate UN sanctions, UN panel says

NCRI – Experts overseeing UN sanctions against Iran announced that the Iranian regime continues to defy the Security Council sanctions through concealment methodsm Associated Press reports on May 11.

According to the UN experts, “Iran’s circumvention of sanctions across all areas, in particular the use of front companies, concealment methods in shipping, financial transactions and the transfer of conventional arms and related materiel is willful and continuing,” the AP said.

 

The AP has obtained a copy of the report by UN experts and quotes the expert panel as saying that “sanctions have made it harder, costlier and riskier for Iran to acquire items needed for its banned nuclear and missile activities.” It said: “most violations of the ban on Iran exporting conventional arms involve Syria, its neighbor and ally.”

The final report by the eight-member panel to the Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against Iran could be made public as early as Thursday.
