    SUBJECT: Country Team Support for Third-Party Transfer to Iraq

    CLASSIFIED BY: Margaret Scobey, Ambassador, Embassy Cairo; REASON:
    1.4(B), (D)

    ¶1.  (SBU)  The Egyptian military is requesting third-party transfer
    approval for the sale of M1A1 tanks and ammunition to Iraq.  All of
    the equipment is produced in Egypt under a co-production agreement
    with the United States.  The country team supports the sale.

    ¶2.  (C) Egypt proposes selling 140 M1A1 tanks, ammunition,
    training, spare parts, and maintenance to the Iraqi army for an
    undisclosed amount of money.  We understand that a number of
    complex issues would first need to be addressed given Egyptian and
    Iraqi budgetary constraints, ongoing development of a foreign
    military assistance plan for Iraq, legal issues related to the
    co-production agreement, and the potential concerns of General
    Dynamics.  In principle, however, we strongly support this sale and
    the positive contributions it would make to strengthening
    Egyptian-Iraqi ties.

    ¶3.  (S)  After an initially cautious approach to the Maliki
    government, Egypt has taken serious steps over the last year to
    develop stronger political, economic, and military ties with Iraq.
    We view these efforts as crucial to building Iraq's ties with the
    Arab world and reducing Iranian influence.  The tank deal is part
    of a much broader Egyptian effort to strengthen the bilateral
    relationship.  In November 2009, Egypt and Iraq signed 16 MOUs
    across several fields, including science and technology,
    agriculture, communications, security affairs and military
    training.
