(C) In a June 9 conversation with the Ambassador, MFA
Director General Khalid Mehmood passed on a read-out of
Foreign Minister Kasuri's latest conversation with Iranian FM
Muttaki. Kasuri had called his Iranian counterpart after
receiving a June 8 briefing by the EU-3 representatives on
the P-5 Germany proposals. (Note: The Foreign Minister
called Muttaki on his own initiative, not at the request of
the EU-3. End note.)
(C) Kasuri told Muttaki that the P-5 Germany are serious
and deserve full consideration. These proposals could
provide Tehran a way out of the current stalemate. Kasuri
encouraged Iran to take the path of positive engagement with
the P-5 Germany. Muttaki told Kasuri that the current P-5
Germany proposal is better than the previous offer.
Muttaki said the international community has its interests
while Iran has its own concerns: there must be an effort
to accommodate both.
(C) Kasuri's impression following this conversation is that
Iran will engage with the P-5 Germany, although pursuing
these proposals could entail a prolonged process.
