(SECRET) On 27 April we delivered reftel points to Neveen
El-Husseiny at the America's Department at the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. We conveyed that the United States would be
in close consultation with the GOE as we move forward with
pursuing direct engagement with Iran. We noted that despite
our efforts to engage directly with Iran, our fundamental
goal of preventing Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapons
capability remains unchanged. Special Advisor Dennis Ross'
visit to the region in early May presents an opportunity to
further reassure the GOE and our Gulf allies that their
concerns with Iran will not be ignored in any attempt to
resolve the nuclear issue. El-Husseiny thanked us for the
message and reiterated the GOE's support for U.S. engagement
to deter Iran's nuclear ambitions.
