1. (S/NF) Ambassador delivered reftel demarche to MFA Acting
Under Secretary Tareq Al-Haidan on Saturday, September 29
(over the UAE's weekend). She thanked Al-Haidan for the
UAE's continued support for enforcing UNSCRs 1737 and 1747
and requested that the UAE investigate the shipment on board
the YM Energy and prevent the shipment from reaching the
Iranian firm Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group. Al-Haidan
committed to communicating with the appropriate authorities
in Dubai and having them investigate the shipment. The same
day senior Dubai DHS/ICE representative raised the issue with
Dubai Customs authorities and encouraged them to investigate
the shipment and prevent it from reaching a UNSCR 1737
designated entity. On Sunday, September 30, GRPO contacted
Dubai's General Directorate for State Security about the case.


2. (S/NF) On October 1, Al-Haidan confirmed that the ship was
still port and that the investigation of the shipment was
continuing. He promised to pass further information as soon
as he received it.
