1. (U) POLOFF delivered policy guidelines on the Iran NIE
(reftel) on December 13 to Michael Gaffey, Director, Middle
East and North Africa Division, Department of Foreign
Affairs. Gaffey took the points on board, saying that
Ireland fully agrees that unified international pressure must
be maintained on Iran to compel it to comply with UNSCRs 1737
and 1747, and to cooperate in good faith with the IAEA.
2. (SBU) Gaffey said that the EU would look to the UNSC to
resolve this impasse in coming weeks. In the absence of
substantive progress, however, Gaffey predicted that the EU
would be ready to take stronger action during the January
GAERC meeting.
