1. (C) On June 3, Poloff delivered reftel demarache points to
the Ministry of Foreign Affair's UN Director, Imran Siddiqui.
Siddiqui explained that for many delegations the
preoccuption with the potential use of force against Iran
drove the NAM's statement in support of Iran. Siddiqui said
that the original version of the statement, which was
introduced by the Iranian delegation, was much more emphatic
in its support of Iran but subsequent negotations among the
various delegations toned down the final version. Siddiqui
added that many member states were reluctant to push for even
the slightest rebuke of Iran lest it be used by the UN
Security Council or the USG as justification for military
action. Asked about the Pakistani delegation's role in the
negotiations on the final statement, Siddiqui remarked that
the Pakistani delegation tried only to work as a
consensus-maker and did not advocate in any one direction.
2. (C) Despite Pakistan's interest in preventing Iran from
acquiring nuclear weapons, Siddiqui said that strong
cultural, economic and religious ties with Iran as well as a
paramount desire for stability in the region compel the GOP
to go only to the extent of publicly saying that Iran should
comply with its NPT obligations.
