    REF: A. SECSTATE 74879
         ¶B. RIYADH 43
    Classified By: Charge' d'Affaires Michael Gfoeller for
    reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)

    ¶1. (S) On July 21, Pol Counselor delivered demarche on the
    upcoming Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Foreign Ministers meeting
    scheduled for Tehran from July 27-30 (Reftel A) to Saudi MFA
    Deputy Director for Western Affairs Department Mojahid Ali
    Alwahbi.

    ¶2. (S) Alwahbi informed us that Saudi Minister of State for
    Foreign Affairs (MFA Deputy Secretary equivalent) Dr. Nizar
    bin Obaid Madani would lead the Saudi delegation.  He assured
    us Saudi Arabia did not want the NAM meeting to become an
    Iranian propaganda event, adding he had seen the proposed
    agenda and did not expect it to develop in such a manner.
    Alwahbi agreed Iran's continued nuclear enrichment was a
    grave SAG concern with regional security implications (Reftel
    B).

    ¶3. (S) Alwahbi strongly advised against taking military
    action to neutralize Iran's program.  Rather, establishing a
    US-Iranian dialogue was the best course of action, asserting
    that the USG opening an Interest Section or re-opening our
    Embassy in Tehran would be positive step.  Alwahbi was
    heartened by the USG's initiative for Under Secretary Burns
    to meet with the Iranians last week in Geneva.  He added
    that, in his view, Iran's position was "shifting" and wanted
    to avoid escalation of tensions.  He noted his belief that
    the Russians had recently been effectively pressuring Iran to
    be less provocative.  Alwahbi concluded that he expected Iran
    to keep tensions relatively low at least until after the US
    presidential election.

    ¶4. (S) COMMENT.  These comments are typical of Saudi MFA
    bureaucrats who take a pacific stance towards Iran, but
    diverge significantly from the more bellicose advice we have
    gotten from senior Saudi royals.  END COMMENT.
