SUBJECT: (C) IRAN: DENMARK SUPPORTS UNSC SANCTIONS

REF: STATE 95073

Classified By: (U) Ambassador Laurie S. Fulton; reason 1.4 (b, d)


1. (C) In response to reftel demarche, FM Per Stig Moeller
told Ambassador September 16 that he supports additional UNSC
sanctions on Iran, which cannot be trusted, and that he told
his EU colleagues this on September 14. He assessed that the
Iranian political opposition had succeeded in making inroads
using the argument that the regime is isolating the country
from the world by its irresponsible conduct. Moeller added
that Iran was on his agenda for the meeting he was about to
have with the Vietnamese president.


2. (C) Moeller noted that he had heard from EU High
Representative Javier Solana September 14 that a meeting was
set between Iran and the P5 1 for October 1, with the nuclear
issue on the agenda.
