American, British, and French government officials at the United Nations said that Iran is continuing to arm Bashar al Assad's regime in Syria in violation of sanctions prohibiting Iranian weapons exports. Deputy US ambassador to the UN Rosemary DiCarlo said "We are alarmed that a majority of the violations...involved illicit transfers of arms and related material from Iran to Syria, where the Assad regime is using them to violently repress the Syrian people."
