US embassy cable - 05SANAA3257

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

E.O. 12958: DECL: 11/16/2015 
TAGS: PREL, PHUM, IR, YM, DEMARCHE 
SUBJECT: AMBASSADOR DELIVERS IRAN RESOLUTION DEMARCHE 
 
REF: STATE 207928 
 
Classified By: Ambassador Thomas C. Krajeski for reasons 1.4 b and d. 
 
 1.  (C)  On November 16, Ambassador raised reftel points 
with Deputy Foreign Minister Mohiedeen al Dhabi.  Al Dhabi 
said he would discuss the points with the Foreign Minister, 
who had just returned from a two week visit to Japan, US, and 
France and was not available, and would pass any reaction 
directly to the Embassy. 
 
2.  (C)  Comment:  We consider it unlikely that Yemen will 
break ranks with the OIC on this vote.  FM al Qirbi considers 
an improvement in relations with Iran a slightly distasteful 
necessity given Yemen's persistent problem with a small but 
troublesome radical Shi'a sect that has looked previously to 
Iran for support.  End Comment.
