US embassy cable - 05NEWDELHI6693

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Iran's weaponization program (Ref A), MEA Joint Secretary

top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, to New Delhi, August 
30-31 on the eve of Foreign Minister Natwar Singh's first 
visit to Iran, Sept 2-5, Jaishankar asked that the US 
briefing be scheduled for September 5.  MEA Joint Secretaries

Security (Hamid Ali Rao); and Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran
