1. (C) Ambassador Chaudhry delivered reftel
demarche to Moldovan Foreign Minister Iurie Leanca
on February 2. Foreign Minister Leanca promised
to tell the Prime Minister to send clear
instructions to the Moldovan Customs Service that
controls/sanctions on Iran be properly implemented
and strictly enforced. The FM also assured the
Ambassador that Moldova, in cooperation with the
USG, would ensure that its counter-proliferation
efforts were as effective as possible.


2. (C) FM Leanca also said that the GOM was
watching Iran-related developments closely and
with great concern. Noting the olive branch that
President Obama had extended to Iran after taking
office, Leanca said that Iran's response had not
been appropriate. Instead of seeing more
cooperation from Iran in the last several months,
there had been an escalation in hostilities on
Tehran's part.
