I expect some Iranians think...How come the USA can ship arms to Israel? How come only our shipments are "illegal"?

Well, I don't believe the shipments are "illegal" from the perspective of the Iranians, and I haven't yet seen the US gripe too much to Tehran. They obviously have a right to ship arms just as we do.

However, the Oslo accords forbade the PA possessing such military arms, thus making the shipment illegal from the perspective of those agreements. And that makes Iran complicit in violating that agreement (which they obviously don't endorse).

Nope.. the Iranians have the right to ship weapons to whomever they please. But they also have the right to absorb the repercussions of those actions in the form of political and economic sanctions.
