Viewing cable 08SEOUL2160, ROKG ON DESIGNATION OF IRANIAN ENTITIES

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.

(SBU)  On October 29 Econoff met with First Secretary Sang 
Soo Lee in MOFAT's Disarmament and Nonproliferation Division 
to deliver demarche on U.S. designation of the Export 
Development Bank of Iran (EDBI) and three of its affiliates 
under E.O. 13382 (reftel).  Lee responded that he would 
notify relevant authorities in the Ministry of Strategy and 
Finance and the Ministry of Knowledge Economy and advise 
Econoff if any action was taken with respect to the 
designations. (In a separate meeting on November 4, Lee 
commented that he was still waiting for the response; Post 
will follow up.)
