Viewing cable 08SANAA1408, YEMEN RECEIVES DESIGNATION OF ADDITIONAL IRANIAN

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. #08SANAA1408.

SUBJECT: YEMEN RECEIVES DESIGNATION OF ADDITIONAL IRANIAN 
ENTITIES NON-PAPER. 
 
REF: STATE 88759 
 
On August 19 Poloff delivered the reftel non-paper to Khalid 
Al-Akwa, Assistant Deputy Foreign Minister.  Al-Akwa 
expressed interest in whether any of the newly designated 
Iranian entities were public companies.  Although he was 
unable to remember the name of the company, he said that an 
Iranian power company working in Yemen has defaulted on 
payments.  He mentioned that if the company were designated 
under E.O. 13382, it would be a convenient excuse for the 
ROYG to ask the company to leave Yemen.  Poloff encouraged 
Al-Akwa to pass along the company,s information and offered 
to confirm whether the company is designated.
