Iran has repeatedly violated a UN arms embargo with exports to protest-hit Syria, the French foreign ministry said on Monday, citing a UN group of experts.
"The UN panel of experts on Iran has identified and informed the Security Council of several violations of the embargo on arms to or from Iran set up by... the United Nations Security Council," said spokesman Romain Nadal.
"These arms deliveries are illegal and deeply shocking because they benefit a regime that has chosen a kind of repression that the UN rights council has repeatedly said constitutes 'crimes against humanity'," he said.
"We condemn these violations and call on Iran and Syria to comply with Security Council resolutions," Nadal said in response to a question about a US accusation that Tehran was sending arms to Damascus.
Senior US officials told AFP on Friday that Iran was supplying munitions to aid Syria's bloody protest crackdown in an initiative spearheaded by the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps' elite Quds force, Qasem Soleimani.
Iran is forbidden to import or export weapons or ammunition under the terms of UN Security Council resolutions dating from 2007 and 2010 slapped on the Islamic republic because of its controversial nuclear programme.

Just one more example of why the UN is totally useless. Double secret probation for you, Iamadinnerjacket!
We should have delt with these low lifes years ago. Instead we now have a president that not only bows to them but refuses to call for a world wide embargo on Gasoline and other refined products to this country. Now we have the Chinese wanting ink a deal for their Oil to refine their own gas which put us and the rest of the world in even more danger. Is this the "Change" he was talking about? Are we going to see every terrorist supporting country grow to the point where we are held hostage by these mentallly distured people? Isael wanted to take them out years ago but this person in OUR White House refused to back them. Now they have grown so powerful that it will take a world effort to take them down.
With the U.S. leaving Iraq they will soon have that oil too and we still sit back and allow it. Nov. can't come soon enough.
I'm sure the UN or bamster will send a sternly worded letter that will fix everything.
Nothing to see here folks just move along.
Oh buts its alright that France supplied weapons to the libyan rebels, even though there was also a UN arms embargo!
When are we going to figure out that Iran lies. We can not trust anything they tell us. Negations mean nothing to this regime. Are we just going to sit by and watch them take over the entire middle east with their power and allow them to have nuclear weapons?
Were you people born with that ring in your nose? You are so easily lead by the neocoms you are willing to risk our young. If you feel so strong about it then get a gun.
Malvern: YES
@ Phillip Welch - Do you even know what a NeocoN is?
They're also a group that fights for our 2nd Amendment right to even have a gun so you may not want to bite the hand that feeds you.
Very funny that the French are drawing attention to this after supplying arms to various Middle Eastern buyers. Also very funny that Syria probably wouldn't exist if the French and British hadn't carved up the Middle East after WWI. Middle Eastern buyers do get a great deal on French armaments. "Rifles for sale. Like new. Never fired ... only dropped once."
Malvern are you going to head to the recruiters office and sign up so you can go spend a year in the dessert and back up all that tough talk?
To own a gun I have to thank the Bill of Rights, not the present day politicians. Whatever happened to the argument that we are, or not, going to be the policeman of the world. Do you not believe our founding fathers, especially George Washington, "Beware of entangling alliances".
And no, the world has not changed. We have been suckered into enough wars.
Why is anyone surprised that Iran is continuing to arm Syria's regime. Syria is one of Iran's lapdogs, just like Hamas and Hezbullah that Iran controls and arms. The U.N. and the U.S. have known this for years, but have done nothing. Iran will not be stopped by talk or by Sanctions, they can only be stopped by a change of regime.
Where are those Iraqi WMD again Malvern?
"When are we going to figure out that Iran lies." - Malvern
France is concerned about a UN violation by Iran? What can kind of crazy, silly world did I wake up to this morning? Better watch out, Iran! The next thing UN might do is, "become deeply concerned." Oh wait, it is Free Porn night at the UN Hotels. Maybe that will come next week.

what us that nasty comment based on
still WWII
Britain and France faced Germany unprepared
the Brits turned and ran -all 300,000 of them to boats
and left their ally
the USA was also so unprepared that it took us 4 1/2 years to invade Europe
what would have happened here if we were invaded
when we were training with broomsticks
get your history straight and keep your nasty comments to yourself
a**h**e
PS our war history is pretty sad since Korea and we sell arms too
"Iran" is the CIA. They took over their government in 1979.
This is all an act... an evil one that must stop.
Americans can point fingers only after impeaching holder and dinglebarry for fast
The day America will stop supplying arms to israel is the day Iran will stop supplying arms to Syria and Lebanon. The day, israel disarms is the day Iran will stop her nuke program. In order to bring peace in this region, all these countries must be armed to the teeth including nukes. And contrary to what people might think, there are no mad men out there who would use these weapons. They are for deterrent reasons. That is why Russia and America never went to war - despite the cold war. That is why India and Pakistan will never go to war.
The muslim leaders in Iran are driven and motivated by religion. If they thought they could destroy Israel then they would do it! After all this would make them heros and their departure to heaven would be quicker.
Suicide bombers operate on the same principal. Muslims kill their own people, killing others is not a problem for them.
@mike w
Thank you for the history lesson. To elaborate:
(1) Britain and France faced Germany unprepared. Agreed. Unfortunately for them, they only had from 1937 to 1940 to do so.
(2) British anf French troops did retreat when the French flank was turned in Belgium. The British did use their available shipping to bring their soldiers home, leaving the French closer to home than they would have been had they fled Europe on the boats.
(3) The USA was so unprepared that, after Germany and Japan declared war on us in December 1941, we were not able to mount an invasion of Eurpoe until June 1944. That would be about 2-1/2 years later by my calendar, and after shipping the invasion force across an ocean.
(4) Please remember that name-calling is the next-to-last resort (violence being the last) of the peson who lacks a persuasive argument.
Thank you again for your inciteful comments.
When the Gonvernments/media admit to Irans expansionism, policy changes will occur. The prevalent dogma within Iran is no secret yet the Media rarely reports it. We as a people are expected to research and to think. So please EVERYONE think, evaluate, determine and respond.
Why does one think Iran will listen to or take such matters seriously. They are soon be be bombed out of area anyway, and it will be because of not abiding to sanctions and publicly wishing the destruction of a neighbor. No one has ever made these blatant threats, except maybe Hitler. Look where that got him.
and which country has been sanctioned by the UN more times than any other? ...oh israel .
and which country still refuses to disclose details of its nuclear arsenal? ...oh, israel.
and was it israel of Iran that refused to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty? ...oh, israel.
....and which country controls the biggest lobby in American politics? ...oh, israel.
Pack your bags boys we're going to war again to fight for "freedom."
Aren't we supposed to be able to fix EVERYTHING with diplomacy?? That's what they keep telling us, don't rush to war. Where's all that diplomacy now?! Where's that eloquent president of ours having a chat with the Iranians??? It was never going to happen, it will not happen. Screw sanctions, surround them, starve them out, total blockade.
A lot of commenters seem horny for war. Get real, we cannot afford more silly adventures like Iraq and it is not our job to fix Israel's problems.
Horny for peace. But what are you going to do when a bully keeps slapping you around? Sooner or later you will strike back. And you're right, Israel should take care of it. We've already lost enough American patriots and spent enough money trying to drag these monkeys out of the stone age. Who's up?
Apparently human beings are still not ready for civilization, for harmonious co-existence. And then we rub our heads and wonder, perplexed at what possibly could have caused this. One word: religion! Our weakness, our pathetic need to cling to some unseen, unearthly, non-existent deity, pits us against each other. "My imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend!" Like a school-yard taunt. Pretty sad stuff.
They what?! Naw, they didn't !!! Imagine that, didn't adhere to an embargo. We'll show them...institute sanctions, that'll teach 'em.
The "Regime" couldn't negotiate its way out of a paper bag.
One big bomb and it's all over, from all the Islam nations.
The UN is a ball-less gaggle of nothing. If the UN building fell into the sea it would still be as effective.
Russia has been supplying weapons to Syria, you stupid scum, but you don't yap about that. You are so transparent in your evil, you filth. France and the UK pumped munitions into the Libya insurrection, in violation of the UN resolutions. You vile war-monger filth should be executed for crimes against humanity.
I'm all for prosecuting those you arm and support terrorists. So USA it's time to answer for all the terrorism you sponsor and have sponsored over the years. If you people want to judge Iran and Muslim nations you better take a good hard look at the CIA and who they have poured millions/billions into. Can you say OBL, Saddam, 1993 WTC attack? Anytime you see a drone bomb 1 terrorist, 3 children and 2 women that is TERRORISM. The US or any nation for that matter are not exempt.
Help me out. I'm not the best versed historian on this. Iran was Sadaam's (and the Baath's party) biggest enemy and has been fighting Baathist power for what? near two decades? Syria is run by the Baath party. For the life of me, I can't see why Iran would ship guns to support a Socialist, non-Islamist government that was so closely aligned with Iraq's Sadaam? What's wrong with this story? Am I missing something here? Are we being sold a bill of goods, more propoganda? Anyone?
Additional thoughts. My only explanation might be due to Syria's support of Hamas as a way to keep the Golan Heights on the table with Israel? So, Iran doesn't want to see the support for Hamas disappear? The enemy of my enemy is my friend? And yes, this all started when Iran, under the leadership of the democratically elected Mossadeq, nationalized Iran's oil and kicked out British Petroleum in 1951. The US saw an opening for cheap oil and sent in the CIA to instigate a coup and replace the democratically elected Mossadeq with our puppet and dictator, the Shah. With the Shah making Sadaam look like a choir boy (both of these guys were our puppets, of course) the only political voice left for the people of Iran was in the Mosques. Hence, the growth of Islamic Fundamentalism and the overthrow of the Shah. Sorry not enough time to write more - worthwhile link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Mosaddegh
Yes, the change that monkey was talking about was the change from the greatest country to a shithole ...Obama and his thugs are the biggest enemies of our country...did you ever think we would elect a monkey whose main goal was the destruction of this free society....this is what happens when a commie is elected....when all he is qualified to do is serve fried chicken...Obama is the dumbest piece of shit loser - I cant stand that turd...and his wife is a camel- stupid c u n t
How about Iran comply when israel complies to the 400 security council violations they are involved in.

Where the hell did you dig that bullshit up at? Germany never declared war on the U.S. You have that backwards.
@SHYSTER
Always nice to meet another erudite student of history. The chronology is thus: Japan declared war on the US on December 7th. The US declared war on Japan on December 8th. Germany and Italy, in support of their Axis partner, both declared war on the US on December 11th. The US, in return and later on the same day, declared war on Germany and Italy. Thank you for your concern.
This comment goes to Mike W. who postedat 16:42:20. Your uninformed comment made my blood boil about the Dunkirk invasion you have misconstrued. My grandfather, James Gardner, was taken prisoner by the Germans and passed.away due to injuries of that invasion in 1998. He still had shrapnel imbedded where doctors thought to risky for surgery. He was a great man and I am honored to come from his lineage. You see, in his words without Operation Dynamo the British would have been slaughtered. This is why England's civilians grabbed every sea worthy boat to collect over 330,000 soldiers in about 9 days. Churchill even gave a speech afterwards stating the British would never surrender.
Brussels surrendered May 28th only giving the British one hour notice and would leave a considerate line for the Germans to plough through. However, the British commended them for their bravery while they had fought alongside each other even though they left the gap between the British and the sea.
The Dunkirk invasion is famous for "the solidarity of the British people in times of adversity". Over 300,000 were saved to fight another day. Otherwise they would have been anihilated, and for what? What would've happened to WWII without the British?
My grandfather was one of the most courageous men I've been honored to know, and then their are people like you so quick to judge, and so righteous when you have it all wrong. You owe my grandfather an apology, as well as all the French and Brussels he fought with. Shame on you for accusing people they don't know history and calling them names. It makes me wonder how courageous you would have been under the same circumstances. I hope my judgement is wrong.
Let's see. We had given England about fifty destroyers. We were sinking U-boats in the Atlantic. We were supplying England with war material. FDR made the speech about "if your neighbors house is on fire, do you not lend him a hose" Now my next statement is going to have people jumping out of their chairs in anger and disbelief , but FDR caused WWII.
Embargo? Under what authority? More BS from the jingo-nutjobs in Israel and their colony the US to try to justify their war.
Denver Bill,
And before that the US had been siding one side with arms, was fighting a proxy war with Japan in China ("Flying Tigers"), and placed an embargo on Japan.
The day the arabs lay down their arms, there will be peace.
The day the Israelis lay down their arms, there will be slaughter.
JOhn: I think YOU are the assh0le, not the Pres. You are a filthy, ignorant racist consumed by hate. You can be against his policies, but calling him a monkey and using the odious fried chicken stereotype just betrays your appalling racist core.
Iran has every right to trade with whom ever it pleases. The worthless resolutions from the West are just methods of employing economic terror against Iran. Where are their nukes?? There are no nukes. The US was "deservingly" thrown out of Iran in 1979, and ever since has been marginalized by China, Japan, and the EU who have positive relations with Iran. Too bad Uncle Sam, no one cares about your criminal sanctions curtosy of AIPAC, and the Zionist entity.
