2. (SBU) SUMMARY: Mission has reviewed the designations of
11 additional Iranian entities with the GOI. Our contact
said he would follow up, circulating the information through
the government's interagency process. END SUMMARY.
3. (SBU) On July 23, Dep/Pol/C reviewed reftel designations
with Andy Rachmianto, Deputy Director for International
Security and Disarmament at the Department of Foreign
Relations. Dep/Pol/C said the July 8 designations were done
under U.S. law. That said, the designations were also fully
in compliance with UN Security Council Resolutions 1737, 1747
and 1803, which required all UN member states to freeze the
assets of entities and individuals listed in the annexes of
those resolutions.
4. (SBU) Per reftel, Dep/Pol/C urged the Indonesian
government to take steps--including placing a freeze--should
assets be available for any of the entities.
5. (SBU) Rachmianto said Indonesia was also in the process
of implementing the three UNSCR's. He said he would review
the U.S. information carefully and circulate it through the
GOI interagency process.
