SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN
1. YOU WILL HAVE SEEN FROM VS 044/80 OF 22 APRIL THAT THE NINE
HAVE DECIDED TO IMPOSE SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN.
WE ARE EXAMINING THE IMPLICATIONS FOR
DTS, PARTICULARLY WITH REGARD TO VISA REQUIREMENTS AND POSSIBLY
EVENTUAL ECONOMIC SANCTIONS. INSTRUCTIONS WILL FOLLOW.
FOR HONG KONG ONLY:
2. WE ARE CONSIDERING URGENTLY AN INSTRUCTION TO THE IRANIAN
GOVERNMENT TO WITHDRAW THEIR CONSULATE-GENERAL IN HONG KONG IN
LINE WITH THE MEASURE TO REDUCE IRANIAN REPRESENTATION IN THE
COUNTRIES OF THE NINE. THIS WOULD BE A LOGICAL MOVE IN VIEW OF
THE FACT THE CONSULATE-GENERAL IS DIRECTLY SUBORDINATE TO THE
IRANIAN EMBASSY IN LONDON. WE EXPECT TO CLOSE THE
CONSULATE-GENERAL IN MANCHESTER.
3. GRATEFUL FOR DETAILS DESKBY 240900Z OF PROCEDURES WHICH
ESTABLISHED YOUR EXISTING VISA ARRANGEMENT WITH IRAN.
