    E.O. 12958: DECL: 03/02/2025
    TAGS: PARM KNNP IAEA MNUC IR SYR NZ
    SUBJECT: GNZ AGREES WITH USG POINTS ON IRAN AND SYRIA; WILL
    ISSUE STRONG STATEMENTS

    REF: STATE 16285

    Classified By: Acting DCM Margaret B. McKean; Reason 1.4 (b)
    and (d)

    ¶1.  (S)  On March 2, Acting DCM met with Jillian Dempster,
    Deputy Director at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade
    International Security and Disarmament Division to discuss
    reftel points.  Dempster agreed with the USG views, noting
    that MFAT had forwarded draft statements on both Iran and
    Syria to Cabinet Ministers last week.  The Government of New
    Zealand's position on both Iran and Syria under the new
    National-led government of PM John Key is likely to remain
    similar to that of former Labour PM Helen Clark.  Dempster
    observed that in both the cases of Iran and Syria, the
    Director General's reports indicate that "the situation has
    not been fixed."   Iran has not complied with IAEA requests
    for comprehensive access, has not provided design
    information, and has built roofs over its installations
    thereby limiting satellite information that provided some
    level of data.  On Syria, the GNZ believes that the issues
    surrounding the discovery of uranium in the soil samples from
    the destroyed alleged reactor site "are concerning" and that
    the GNZ does not deem as fully credible the GOS explanation
    that the uranium derives from Israeli missiles.

    ¶2.  (S)  Dempster added that New Zealand would be sending a
    new Ambassador to Tehran shortly -- Brian Sanders who is
    currently working in MFAT's Asia Division on Korea and Japan
    will be replacing Hamish McMaster, who will return to
    Wellington.  The MFAT official added that Sanders has
    previous Middle East experience, having served in Riyadh.
    She also said that the Iranian Embassy has been conspicuously
    silent in the lead up to the March Board of Governors
    meeting.  Usually, the Iranian government conducts a public
    diplomacy campaign and demarches the GNZ; this year, there
    have been no meeting requests with MFAT, said Dempster.

    ¶3.  (S)  On issuing the Syrian report to the public, Dempster
    reported that some NAM members of the Board do not want
    either the Iran or Syria reports to be made public, and will
    try to block BOG release of the reports.  She said that the
    GNZ would stay in touch with like-minded governments in
    Vienna and "see what the traffic will bear."
