Viewing cable 07MASERU169, LESOTHO: IRANIAN COMPLIANCE WITH UNSCR 1737

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number.

TAGS: KNNP IR LT
SUBJECT: LESOTHO: IRANIAN COMPLIANCE WITH UNSCR 1737 
 
REF: STATE 23001; MASERU 149 
 
1. (U) DCM spoke on March 15 with MFA Acting Principal Secretary 
Thabang Lekhela to express USG views on the IAEA's report on 
Iranian compliance with UNSCR 1737 and next steps (Note: Due to 
ongoing post-election issues in Lesotho, Lekhela was unavailable 
prior to March 15 to discuss UN issues.  The Ambassador 
discussed the Iran issue briefly with FM Tsekoa on March 14, ref 
B.  End Note.) 
 
2. (SBU) Lekhela said that as a "tiny" country, Lesotho is 
totally against proliferation of all weapons, especially nuclear 
arms.  He noted that Lesotho supports "any means" to stop Iran's 
nuclear pursuits, adding that the GOL was discussing internally 
the possibility of a statement or other measures to support 
current efforts within the UN on this issue.  Lekhela observed 
that Iran has proclaimed publicly that it is willing to 
negotiate on this issue, but "everything the Iranian government 
does in practice contradicts this public claim." 
 
3. (SBU)  Comment: Although Lehkela echoed similar sentiments of 
other senior GOL officials on proliferation (ref B), Lesotho is 
unlikely to support any effort beyond quiet diplomatic 
negotiations in dealing with Iran on UNSCR 1737 compliance.  End 
Comment.
