Iranian Azim Aghajani convicted over Nigeria arms
Rockets and grenades were among the arms found inside 13 shipping containers of building material in 2010.
Court documents said they were due for re-export to The Gambia.
Nigerian Usman Abbas Jega was convicted alongside Azim Aghajani, alleged to be a member of the Revolutionary Guards.
They were convicted on four of five charges relating to the shipment, reports the AFP news agency.
The final destination of the weapons has not been established.
There has been speculation that they could have been intended for The Gambia's neighbour, Senegal, where there is a low-level rebellion in the south.
The incident led Senegal to recall its ambassador to Tehran.
