1. (SBU) On May 15 Ambassador spoke with Sierra Leone's
Acting Foreign Affairs Minister Vandi Minah to present the
U.S. 60 day report on Iran Sanctions, per UNSC 1803.
Ambassador stressed the need to ensure robust international
implementation and highlight the continued IAEA reports of
Iran's failure to comply with the requirements imposed by the
UNSC Resolution.

the report and commented that he was familiar with the UNSC
