¶1. (S/NF) We shared the non-paper regarding the transit of a
truck convoy from Iran to the Levant carrying a shipment of
high concern (reftel) with MFA Deputy DG for Nonproliferation
Ahmet Gun on October 2, and asked the GoT to take immediate
action to disrupt the shipment. Gun agreed to alert relevant
authorities about the shipment. The information was also
conveyed through liaison channels to the Turkish National
Intelligence Organization (TNIO).
¶2. (S) Ambassador later spoke to MFA U/S Sinirlioglu to
underscore USG concerns about the shipment and press for
immediate GoT action. Sinirlioglu assured Ambassador that
the order to stop the shipment is being prepared and that the
GoT would take action on an urgent basis.
