1. (S) Embassy on September 24 delivered ref demarche on the
opening of a Bank Markazi account at Bank Saderat UK to HM
Treasury and to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
2. (S) According to FCO Iran Multilateral Team leader Will
Gelling, HMG agrees that, even in the absence of a specific
UN designation of Markazi as an entity, vigilant scrutiny of
all Bank Markazi transactions is appropriate; he noted HMG
and USG share views on preventing Iran from circumventing UN
sanctions or in any way furthering its proliferation
activities.
3. (S) HMT,s Patrick Guthrie, Head of Financial Sanctions
Unit, said he would share the demarche with the Central Bank,
and that HMG is very interested in pursuing this and any
other information the USG has on Bank Markazi.
