Viewing cable 08MOSCOW442, RUSSIAN CONCERNS ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON EXPORT

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #08MOSCOW442.

SUBJECT: RUSSIAN CONCERNS ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON EXPORT 
DENIALS PROVIDED BY GROUP OF NUCLEAR SUPPLIERS 
 
REF: STATE 11499 
 
Sensitive But Unclassified, Protect Accordingly 
 
1. (SBU)  On February 15, we delivered reftel points regarding U.S. 
support for the IAEA request to the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) 
Governments for additional information regarding export denials to 
Iran or nuclear related items already delivered to Iran. 
 
2. (SBU) Alexandr Bolichiov of the MFA Directorate of Disarmament 
and Security Affairs (DVBR) expressed two concerns.  First is the 
potential for information to be leaked when provided to the IAEA or 
the NSG.  He reports that Russia has had a number of incidents in 
which information provided to IAEA or NSG was leaked outside these 
groups.  Second, the GOR normally reports Iran nuclear item 
deliveries through established channels in the UNSC.  There is no 
established mechanism for reporting this type of information to the 
NSG or IAEA.
