1. (C) PolOff delivered Reftel points to Hellmut Hoffmann,
Director of the MFA's Office for Nuclear Arms Control, on May
30. Hoffmann expressed appreciation for the points and noted
Germany's ongoing concern for Iran's lack of "full
cooperation" with the IAEA and the UN. After quickly reading
through the points, Hoffmann noted that they looked
"principally in-line with German thinking." He also noted
that Germany would urge members to support a Chairman's
statement at next week's Board of Governor's meeting in
Vienna. Hoffmann lamented that a resolution would probably
not be possible "due to the lack of support from other
members of the P5."
2. (SBU) Hoffmann also pointed out that, following the
release of the latest IAEA report, FM Steinmeier said that
the international community must press Iran "with increasing
pressure" for answers, noting that Iran has not yet
demonstrated its willingness to cooperate. Without progress,
Steinmeier continued, "the alternative is additional action
through the UN Security Council." Embassy will report on
additional conversations Septel.
