    SUBJECT: (S) FLIGHT OF PROLIFERATION CONCERN BETWEEN DPRK
    AND IRAN

    REF: ASTANA 1286

    Classified By: ISN Acting DAS Kenneth W. Staley,
    Reasons 1.4 (b), (c), and (d)

    THIS IS AN ACTION REQUEST.  SEE PARA 2.

    ¶1. (S) Posts are requested to approach appropriate-level host
    nation officials regarding a planned North Korean flight to
    Iran of proliferation concern and encourage them to deny
    overflight for the aircraft or require that it land and be
    subjected to inspection before proceeding.  Posts may draw
    from background, objectives, and talking points/non-paper
    below as appropriate.

    ----------
    OBJECTIVES
    ----------

    ¶2.  (S//REL AFGHANISTAN, KYRGYZSTAN, TAJIKISTAN,
    TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN):  Posts should encourage host
    governments, as partner nations in the Proliferation Security
    Initiative (PSI) and consistent with their obligations under
    UNSCRs 1718, 1737, and 1747, to deny overflight or to insist
    that the aircraft land for inspection before proceeding.

    ¶3.  (S//REL CHINA) Embassy Beijing should encourage China,
    consistent with its obligations under UNSCRs 1718, 1737, and
    1747, to deny overflight or to insist that the aircraft land
    for inspection before proceeding.

    ¶4.  (S//REL KAZAKHSTAN) Our information currently does not
    indicate a North Korean intent to overfly Kazakhstan,
    suggesting that GOK, per REFTEL, has denied the DPRK,s
    request.  Embassy Astana is requested to express appreciation
    for GOK,s proactively notifying us of the DPRK overflight
    request and urge them to deny any such request if they have
    not already done so.  Post may share the below non-paper with
    GOK, as appropriate.

    ----------
    BACKGROUND
    ----------

    ¶5.  (S//REL CHINA, AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN,
    TAJIKISTAN, TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN)  The USG has received
    information that a flight of proliferation concern between
    North Korea and Iran is scheduled to occur in late July.

    ¶6. (S//REL AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, TAJIKISTAN) Our
    information does not currently indicate a North Korean intent
    to route the flight over Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, or
    Tajikistan.  We are, however, providing them this information
    in the spirit of our cooperation under PSI, and to ask them
    to deny overflight or inspect the aircraft in the event the
    North Koreans re-route the flight.

    ¶7. (S) Embassies should note that bullet #1 is for Beijing
    only, bullet #2 is for all recipients except Beijing, and
    bullet #3 is for Astana, Kabul, and Dushanbe only.  The rest
    of the non-paper is for all recipients.

    ------------------------
    TALKING POINTS/NON-PAPER
    ------------------------

    ¶8.  (S//REL CHINA, AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN,
    TAJIKISTAN, TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN) Begin talking
    points/non-paper:

    -- (S//REL CHINA) We would like to raise with you a North
    Korean flight of proliferation concern that may request
    overflight of your territory as it transits to and from Iran.

    -- (S//REL AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN, TAJIKISTAN,
    TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN) In the spirit of our cooperation
    under the Proliferation Security Initiative, we would like to
    raise with you a North Korean flight of proliferation concern
    that may request overflight of your territory as it transits
    to and from Iran.

    -- (S//REL AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, TAJIKISTAN) While our
    current information indicates that this flight will not cross
    your territory, we are providing it to you in the spirit of
    our cooperation as PSI partners and in the event that the
    flight,s schedule is changed and you do receive a North
    Korean overflight request.

    -- (S//REL CHINA, AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN,
    TAJIKISTAN, TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN) We are concerned that
    this chartered, round-trip passenger flight may be carrying
    DPRK personnel involved in ongoing cooperation with Iran on
    ballistic missiles.

    -- (S//REL CHINA, AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN,
    TAJIKISTAN, TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN) As you know, the
    transfer by North Korea of WMD components or delivery
    systems, certain military goods, and related materials
    including spare parts, is prohibited by UNSCR 1718.  UNSCR
    1718 also prohibits transfers from or to North Korea of
    technical training, advice, services or assistance related to
    WMD, their delivery systems, and certain conventional arms.
    Iran is prohibited from obtaining WMD, delivery systems,
    related components, and related technical assistance and
    training under UNSCRs 1737 and 1747.

    -- (S//REL CHINA, AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN,
    TAJIKISTAN, TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN) We therefore request
    that overflight permission be denied or made contingent on
    inspection of the aircraft to ensure that any cargo or
    passengers it carries are not arriving in Iran in violation
    of UNSCR 1718, 1737, 1747 or other UN resolutions.
    Alternately, if this aircraft requests a fueling stop in your
    country, we request that you grant this permission and
    promptly search the aircraft upon its arrival for evidence of
    prohibited items or activities.

    -- (S//REL CHINA, AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN,
    TAJIKISTAN, TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN) Information about the
    flights are as follows.  The outbound flight from the DPRK is
    expected on or about July 31, 2008.  The aircraft is a North
    Korean-registered Il-62, flight JS-621, scheduled to depart
    Pyongyang on 28 July at 0001Z and land in Tehran at 0940Z.

    -- (S//REL CHINA, AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN,
    TAJIKISTAN, TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN) From North Korea, the
    flight is scheduled to pass into Chinese airspace at or about
    0025Z and leave Chinese airspace for Kyrgyzstan at 0600Z.
    From there, the flight is scheduled to pass over Uzbekistan
    and Turkmenistan and arrive in Iranian airspace at or around
    0825Z.

    -- (S//REL CHINA, AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN,
    TAJIKISTAN, TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN) The return flight,
    JS-622, is scheduled to depart Tehran on 31 July at 1330Z and
    arrive at Pyongyang at 2220Z.

    -- (S//REL CHINA, AFGHANISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, KYRGYZSTAN,
    TAJIKISTAN, TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN) From Iran, the flight
    is scheduled to pass into Turkmenistan airspace on or about
    1440Z and pass over Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, entering
    Chinese airspace from Kyrgyzstan at 1655Z.  From there the
    flight is scheduled to re-enter North Korean airspace on or
    around 2200Z.
