(SBU) D/Polcouns presented the demarche seeking support for
EU3 efforts to report Iran to the UNSC (Reftel) to Foreign
Ministry Multilateral Political Affairs Director Julio Garro
on 9/16. Garro said he had been told that Deputy Secretary
Zoellick was extremely persuasive on 9/15 when discussing
with President Toledo the need to pressure Iran on compliance
with IAEA resolutions. Garro added that Peru was in the
process of paying its arrears so that it would regain the
right to vote within the IAEA. Once Peru gets back its
voting privileges, he expected that the GOP would stake out a
position in support of the USG viewpoint regarding Iran.
