Vienna:
The international arms embargo against Iran will remain for five years under the deal on Tehran's nuclear programme, but deliveries would be possible with special permission of the UN Security Council, Russia's foreign minister said today.
'There was a compromise reached between Iran and Western colleagues which we supported... five years, but during the five years arms deliveries to Iran would be possible if they clear a notification and verification process in the UN Security Council,' Sergei Lavrov told journalists.
