We present the results of polarimetric observations of Iapetus at phase angles ranging from 2.4° to 4.6°. The observations were carried out using 125-cm telescope equipped with the UBVRI double image chopping photoelectric polarimeter in the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (Ukraine) on January 14 - April 9, 2008. Observed longitudes range from 54° to 146° and correspond to the dark leading side of the satellite. The phase-angle and longitude dependences of polarization of Iapetus were obtained using the results of our observations and all the data availible. Our results are in good agreement with previous observations and supplement them.
