SUBJECT: FINNISH RESPONSE - IAEA REPORT ON IRANIAN
COMPLIANCE WITH UNSCR 1737
REF: SECSTATE 23001
(SBU) PolChief delivered subject demarche Feb. 27 to Laura
Kansikas-Debraise, Office Director of the Unit for Arms
Control, Disarmament and Non-Proliferation. Kansikas-
Debraise thanked us for sharing the US position and said
that the GOF is fully in agreement that Iran's continued
noncompliance with UNSCR 1737 requires a strong response if
diplomacy is to succeed. For Finland, she added, Iran has
only one option: to halt its program of uranium enrichment
and to comply with 1737's other provisions. And the
international community -- led by the P5 1 -- must find a
way to convince Iran that diplomacy is the only way
forward, she added.
