Iranians added to UN sanctions blacklist

None

Two Iranians and an Iranian company linked to the country's hardline Quds Force have been added to the UN Security Council sanctions blacklist for their involvement in arms smuggling.

 

The council's sanctions committee says Ali Akbar Tabatabaei and Azim Aghajani helped plan a weapons shipment from Iran that was intercepted by Nigeria in 2010. It included rockets, mortar shells, grenades and ammunition. (AP)
