SUBJECT: JAPAN/IAEA: STATEMENT ON IRAN TO FOCUS ON
ENCOURAGEMENT OVER PENALTIES
REF: STATE 92883
Per reftel instruction, ESToff on June 9, 2006 delivered to
MOFA Non-Proliferation, Science and Nuclear Energy Division
Deputy Director Kenji Enoshita the USG's expectations with
regard to the Iran agenda item at the upcoming International
Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors' meeting. Enoshita
currently is drafting Japan's BOG statement on Iran and said
there are no areas of disagreement between the US position
and Japan's. The Japanese statement will focus more on
encouraging Iran to rejoin multilateral talks rather than on
defining potential penalties should Iran decline to do so,
according to Enoshita. The Japanese statement, while
focusing on encouragement, will also make note of Iran's
history of non-compliance.
