If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT: NEPAL BACKS U.S. POSITION ON IRAN NUCLEAR PROGRAM 
 
REF: STATE 09124 
 
1. (SBU) During a February 1 meeting with Acting Foreign 
Secretary Durga Bhattarai, Charge highlighted U.S. efforts to 
engage Iran on its nuclear program and Iran's continued 
unresponsiveness.  He urged Nepal to support efforts to 
increase pressure on Iran (reftel).  Charge noted that all 
countries have a stake in the nuclear non-proliferation 
regime.  Bhattarai thanked Charge and said that Nepal 
remained fully committed to nuclear disarmament and 
non-proliferation.  As a small country in the midst of three 
nuclear states, Nepal is particularly sensitive to risks of 
nuclear conflict. 
 
2. (SBU) Asked by Charge about Nepal's relationship with 
Iran, Bhattarai said the two countries rarely interact in 
international fora.  While Nepal and Iran share South Asian 
"civilizational" links, there was very little real contact 
between the two countries.  Bhattarai added that, unlike 
other Middle Eastern countries, very few Nepalis work in Iran.
