Viewing cable 08OTTAWA988, CANADIAN URANIUM NOT AVAILABLE TO IRAN

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

ΒΆ1.  (SBU) Department of Foreign Affairs and International 
Trade (DFAIT) Senior Advisor for Non-Proliferation Che van 
Haastrecht expressed appreciation for reftel U.S. initiative, 
and confirmed that Canadian firms would not sell uranium to 
any Iranian entities.  The Canadian government authorizes 
uranium shipments only to countries that have signed 
bilateral cooperative agreements, van Haastrecht said, and 
there is no such agreement with Iran.  Moreover, he added, 
long-standing vetted customers have "tied up" all of Canada's 
uranium output for many years to come.
