Iran breaks UN arms embargo with Iraq deal

Iran has signed a deal to sell Iraq arms and ammunition worth 117 million in a move that would break a UN embargo on weapons sales by Tehran.

The agreement was reached at the end of November, documents showed, just weeks after Iraq’s prime minister Nouri al-Maliki returned from Washington, where he lobbied the Obama administration for extra weapons to fight al-Qaeda-linked militants.
