    SUBJECT: (S) EFFORTS BY IRAN,S SBIG TO PROCURE CARBON
    FIBER FROM A COMPANY IN CHINA

    Classified By: (U)  CLASSIFIED BY EAP DAS DAVID SHEAR,
    REASON: 1.4 (C).

    ¶1. (U) This is an action request.  Embassy Beijing, please
    see paragraph 3.

    ¶2.  (S) Background/Objective: The United States has
    information that in December 2009, an Iranian company was
    seeking to procure five tons of carbon fiber from Yoon
    Networks Shanghai Company.  We understand this company is
    likely seeking this material on behalf of the Shahid Bakeri
    Industries Group (SBIG), which is responsible for Iran's
    solid propellant ballistic missile program and an entity
    designated under United Nations Security Council Resolution
    (UNSCR) 1737.  The fiber being sought by the Iranian company
    may be controlled by the Wassenaar Arrangement and Nuclear
    Suppliers Group and could be used to produce rocket nozzles
    or motor cases for Iran's solid propellant ballistic missile
    systems.  We want to share this information with Chinese
    officials and request that they take measures to prevent this
    material from being transferred from China to Iran's missile
    program.  We also want to note that we believe taking such
    action would be consistent with UNSCR 1737.

    ¶3.  (S) Action Request: Request Embassy Beijing approach
    appropriate host government officials to deliver talking
    points/non-paper in paragraph 4 below and report response.
    Talking points also may be provided as a non-paper.

    ¶4.  (S) Begin talking points/non-paper:

    (SECRET//REL CHINA)

    --We would like to alert you to information of proliferation
    concern and request your assistance in investigating this
    activity.

    --The United States has information that in December 2009, an
    Iranian company was seeking to procure five tons of carbon
    fiber from Yoon Networks Shanghai Company, a China-based firm
    operated by a South Korean individual.

    --We understand this company is likely seeking this material
    on behalf of the Shahid Bakeri Industries Group (SBIG), which
    is responsible for Iran's solid propellant ballistic missile
    program and an entity designated under United Nations
    Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1737.

    --The fiber being sought by the Iranian company may be
    controlled by the Wassenaar Arrangement and Nuclear Suppliers
    Group and could be used by Iran to produce rocket nozzles for
    its solid propellant medium-range and short-range ballistic
    missile systems.  It also could be used by SBIG to produce
    lighter motor cases that could potentially extend the range
    of these systems.

    --We believe that the transfer of this material to SBIG poses
    a significant missile proliferation risk and is inconsistent
    with UNSCR 1737.

    --We therefore urge you to investigate this activity and take
    measures to prevent this material from being transferred from
    China to Iran's missile program.

    --We look forward to continued cooperation on missile
    nonproliferation issues and to hearing of any actions your
    government takes in response to this information.
