1. (C) PolCouns delivered reftel demarche -- requesting
stronger vigilance and restraint when considering travel of
UNSCR designated Iranians -- to Ministry of External Affairs
Joint Secretary (Americas) Gaitri Kumar. JS Kumar, who had
been unaware of the Zolqadr incident described in reftel,
took note of our points, stated India complies with all UN
resolutions in regard to Iran, and offered to be "as helpful
as possible" on the issue. She offered to share our points
with other interested offices in MEA and the GOI
2. (C) Comment. We expect India will indeed comply with
UNSCRs 1737 and 1747. However, at this time -- just days
after the Indian Parliament broke down into chaos over
reaction to a letter from seven U.S. Congresspeople
criticizing India's relationship with Iran, a letter which
critics claimed interfered with India's sovereignty -- it is
unlikely the GOI will be as proactive as we would like in
terms of searching aircraft or preventing the entry/transit
of designated Iranians. End Comment.
