missiles and other arms .
"Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree on Measures to implement the United Nations Security Council resolution 1929 from June 9, 2010," the Kremlin said in a statement.
The decree, published on the Kremlin website, forbids supplies of the S-300 air defense missiles to the Islamic republic, among other weapons, as under the decree, supplies of any tanks, fighter jets, helicopters, ships and missile systems are also forbidden, the statement said.
The Kremlin made the decree public after the chief of the general staff Nikolai Makarov told Russian reporters Moscow had dropped plans to supply Tehran with the S-300s because they were subject to international sanctions.
The UN Security Council in June adopted a fourth round of sanctions against Iran over its nuclear drive, imposing broader military and financial restrictions on the Islamic republic.
