1. (C) Post delivered reftel talking points on February 10 on
the IAEA decision to report Iran to the UN Security Council
along with the President's and Secretary's talking points.
Ismatullo Nasredinov, Head of the Department of European and
American Countries at the MFA accepted the points and said he
would immediately convey points to the Foreign Minister.
Nasredinov said this is a "serious" issue that will likely be
raised with President Rahmonov. Nasredinov expressed
Tajikistan's "difficult position:" Tajikistan is against
nuclear research for weapons purposes and must heed the
international community's decision, however, Tajikistan can not
come out too strongly against Iran because of Tajikistan's
development projects funded by Iran and hopes for increased
Iranian investment. Nasredinov predicted that if Tajikistan had
to vote in the General Assembly on the issue, it might abstain.
2. (U) Kabul minimize considered.
