(C) Poloff delivered reftel demarches on September 15 to
Samer Naber, Chief of the Americas Bureau at the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. Naber commented that Jordan and other GCC 3
states "have been reserved" recently in talking about Iran's
nuclear program. He saw this as a byproduct of direct P5 1
talks with Iran on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly
meetings. According to Naber, GCC 3 states are reluctant to
be seen as disturbing those talks or intervening in what may
be sensitive and delicate discussions by making public
statements. Naber also indicated that Jordan and its
neighbors have been "giving Iran the benefit of the doubt" as
long as negotiations continue, even if they are stalled.
Nevertheless, Naber valued the points on Iran for both the UN
General Assembly meeting and the IAEA meeting, and promised
to forward them without delay to Jordan's representatives in
both bodies.
