Concerns about the peaceful nature of the nuclear programme of the Islamic Republic of Iran remain unresolved. The international community is continuing to follow a dual-track approach to addressing the issue through both targeted Security Council sanctions and negotiations.

During the Panel’s current mandate, the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1737 (2006) received one report of transfers of conventional arms by the Islamic Republic of Iran. This is not an indication that such transfers are not taking place. The Panel takes note of other information from States regarding conventional arms transfers from the Islamic Republic of Iran to other countries.
