Iran and the lion's share of Arab countries have refused to report weapons deals to the United Nations. Virtually the entire Arab League, with the exception of Jordan and Lebanon, did not reply to the UN Register of Convention Arms for 2002. Jordan reported imports of weapons and Lebanon did not report any arms transactions. Only Greece and Turkey reported the size and composition of their militaries and weaponry. Israel, Greece and Turkey reported both imports and exports to the UN. Israel reported the sale of 18 large-caliber artillery systems to Uganda and 30 AGM-142 Popeye missile to Turkey. Turkey also exported 80 combat vehicles to Malaysia.
