ON UNSCR 1803 (IRAN SANCTIONS)
REF: A) STATE 21770 B) SECSTATE 48615
(SBU) Embassy Rangoon recommends against delivering this demarche to
the GOB, which is generally hostile to U.S. initiatives, especially
concerning sanctions. Economic relations between Burma and Iran are
negligible. Recently, Burma and Iran have voiced support for each
other against international criticism.
