U.N.The U.N. Security Council has imposed legally binding sanctions on Iran, including a conventional arms ban. The Iranian government has repeatedly defied these prohibitions, as it has other measures imposed by the Security Council.   
The U.N. Security Council's 1737 Committee monitors implementation of UN sanctions, examines and takes appropriate action on information regarding sanctions violations, and has the authority to designate additional individuals and entities to an asset freeze and or a travel ban.  The 1737 Committee recently designated two individuals and one entity involved in the smuggling of a shipment of Iranian arms seized by the Nigerian government fall of 2010.  The shipment included rocket launchers, grenades, and other explosives hidden in containers marked building materials.
The 1737 Committee imposed the travel ban and asset freeze on two Iranians –- Azim Aghajani and Ali Akbar Tabatabaei, both members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Qods Force, and an asset freeze on the Behineh Trading Company, which the Committee said acted on behalf of the IRGC Qods Force as the shipper of the weapons consignment.
