SUBJECT: USG VIEWS FOLLOWING IAEA BRIEFING ON IRANIAN
NON-COMPLIANCE AND WEAPONIZATION-RELATED ACTIVITIES
REF: STATE 19694
Per retel, Political Counselor contacted Julian Juarez,
Deputy Director General for UN Affairs in charge of
international security issues to brief him on our reaction to
the rollout of the IAES report on Iranian non-compliance.
Political Counselor raised the points in reftel. Juarez said
the GOM had looked at the report and also noted
inconsistencies cited in reftel. Juarez said he was aware
of Iranian efforts to gloss over the report and said they
were to be expected. Mexico continues to believe Iran needs
to do a better job accounting for past activities and live up
to its current obligations to the UN.
