    Classified By: AMBASSADOR EDUARDO AGUIRRE FOR REASONS 1.4 (B), (C) & (D
    )

    ¶1. (S/NF) As promised in Reftel A, FM Moratinos called the
    Ambassador back to say that he had looked into the potential
    Iberia-Iran Air deal and that it would not happen. The
    Ambassador referred to the possible use of shell companies
    and the Foreign Minister reiterated that the deal would not
    happen by any means.

    ¶2. (S/NF) The Ambassador also raised the demarche during a
    previously scheduled lunch with Vice President Fernandez de
    la Vega on November 20. The Vice President said that FM
    Moratinos had consulted with her before speaking with the
    Ambassador and that the deal would not happen. The
    Ambassador again probed delicately on the possibility of the
    use of shell companies to shield the sale and she remained
    firm. She acknowledged that Iberia did want to sell the
    airplanes, but she again stated that any deal with Iran Air
    would not happen.

    ¶3. (S/NF) The Ambassador is seeking a call on the Chairman
    of Iberia on other (commercial) issues. He will use the
    opportunity to raise the issue briefly, but it will not be
    the centerpiece of the meeting.

    ¶4. (S/NF) Comment: Barring additional information from
    Washington, we consider this issue closed. The Vice
    President is the enforcer within the government and she and
    the Ambassador have an excellent relationship. If she says
    the deal is off, we believe the deal is off. Post thanks
    Washington for the early notification. It was clear from the
    Ambassador's first conversation that the Foreign Minister was
    unaware of the potential deal. We do not know whether the
    Vice President or anyone else in the government had been
    aware that such a deal might be in the works, but we suspect
    not at the senior level. Both the Foreign Minister and Vice
    President immediately recognized the difficulties such a sale
    by Iberia could represent.
    AGUIRRE
