    REF: A. STATE 15979
         ¶B. KUWAIT 137

    Classified By: Political Counselor Pete O'Donohue for reasons 1.4 b and
     d

    ¶1. PolCouns on February 23 raised ref a points regarding USG
    policy on Iran's Tehran research reactor with Counselor
    Rashid Al-Hajiri, MFA's desk officer for Iran.  Al-Hajiri
    offered no substantive response to our points, noting merely
    that the GOK has been following the issue through its
    representative to the IAEA.  Al-Hajiri added that the GOK
    shares USG concerns about the lack of transparency in Iran's
    nuclear program and regularly encourages Iran to comply with
    international safeguards. At the same time, Al-Hajiri said,
    the GOK hopes that the international community can persuade
    Iran to come into compliance through peaceful dialogue rather
    than through expanded sanctions.

    ¶2. Comment: Al-Hajiri's tepid response to our demarche
    reflects the overall GOK approach to Iran which, as noted Ref
    B, consists of quietly urging Tehran to abide by IAEA
    safeguards while maintaining a friendly relationship with its
    much larger and more powerful neighbor.  Trapped in a
    difficult neighborhood, the GOK will welcome any proposals
    that can move Iran off its nuclear path -- including IAEA
    proposals noted ref A to ensure that Iran receives needed
    medical isotopes -- but will not expose itself to Iranian ire
    by getting out front to push for these.  Emblematic of
    Kuwait's position was the statement by Deputy PM and FM
    Shaykh Dr. Mohammad Al Sabah February 22, who told the local
    press that "We wish our friends (in Iran) can do their best
    to reassure the international community about the Iranian
    nuclear program so that there will not be an excuse for
    imposing sanctions.  There are wise people in Iran," he
    added, continuing to call on Iran to abide by the requirments
    of international legitimacy and the IAEA.  End Comment.
