Novak, reasons 1.4(b+d). ¶1. (C) SUMMARY: Mission has reviewed Reftel information related to Iranian entities with the GOI. Department of Foreign Affairs contact said the GOI had already taken appropriate action in implementing UNSCRs 1747 and 1803. END SUMMARY. ¶2. (C) On August 20, DepPol/C discussed reftel information regarding the five designated Iranian entities with Andy Rachmianto, Deputy for International Security and Disarmament at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DEPLU). DepPol/C noted that the U.S. designations under E.O 13382 were based on an earlier designation by the United Nations, and that, in doing so, the United States was fulfilling its obligations under U.S. Security Council Resolutions 1747 and 1803. He encouraged Indonesia to take appropriate steps if Indonesia had not already done so. ¶3. (C) Rachmianto said Indonesia had held an interagency meeting in March to implement UNSCR 1803. At that time, DEPLU had reviewed the UN list of designated entities with interagency counterparts and stressed that agencies exercise the necessary vigilance, so as not to engage with the designated entities. Thus, he advised, Indonesia had already taken appropriate action to implement UNSCRs 1747 and 1803. HUME
