1. (C) SUMMARY: Mission has urged the GOI to exercise
vigilance concerning banks domiciled in Iran and to freeze
the assets of those entities. We passed on the information
regarding the U.S. designations, under E.O. 13382, of Assa
Corp and Assa Co Ltd as acting on behalf of Bank Melli. Our
GOI contact stated that he would pass the information to key
agencies for action. END SUMMARY.
2. (C) On December 24, POLOFF delivered reftel demarche re
the E.O. 13382 designations of Assa Corp and the Assa Co Ltd
as being controlled by and/or acting on behalf of Bank Melli,
a bank of UNSC proliferation concern. The points were
delivered to Aris Munandar, Deputy Director for
Counter-terrorism in the Directorate of International
Security and Disarmament, the office responsible for UN
issues at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DEPLU). POLOFF
conveyed that as a result of an FBI investigation, Assa Corp
and Assa Co Ltd were determined to be under the control of
Bank Melli. She urged the GOI to freeze the assets of these
entities if it had not already done so.
3. (C) Munandar asked for clarification as to whether the
designations came from the USG or were derived from United
Nations Security Council Resolutions. POLOFF reminded the
GOI interlocutor that paragraph 10 of UNSCR 1803 called upon
all member states to exercise vigilance over the activities
of financial institutions in their territories with all banks
domiciled in Iran and their branches and subsidiaries abroad,
in particular Bank Melli and Bank Saderat. She noted that
the designations under E.O. 13382 were the result of a
comprehensive investigation performed under the controlling
legal authority of UNSCR 1803.
4. (C) Munandar confirmed that he would convey the
information to key Indonesian government agencies for action.
