Viewing cable 08COLOMBO780, SRI LANKA: DESIGNATION OF IRANIAN ENTITIES AND INDIVIDUALS

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

REF:  SECSTATE 88759 
 
ΒΆ1. (SBU) We conveyed on August 21 reftel points on the U.S. 
Treasury's designation of five Iranian nuclear and missile entities 
to Gihan Indragupta, Assistant Director of UN and Multilateral 
Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and asked that the GSL seek to 
identify and freeze any assets related to these entities that may 
exist in Sri Lanka, in accordance with relevant UN Security Council 
resolutions.  Indragupta requested that we share any specific 
information the USG may have about these entities' operations in Sri 
Lanka, noting that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be inclined 
to forward any such information to the appropriate enforcement 
authorities.
