'US DRAFTS CONCILIATORY LETTER TO IRAN'

January 29, 2009

The Jerusalem Post reports: “The Obama administration is preparing a letter to Iran intended to warm relations and pave the way for direct talks between Washington and Teheran, The Guardian reported Thursday.

Work on the document reportedly began immediately following the November election, upon receipt of a letter of congratulations sent to the elected president by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Diplomats quoted by the paper said the letter, which has seen several drafts so far, would aim to change the US tone towards Iran and offer a different stance on relations between the nations. In it, Obama would seek to assure Teheran that the US is not interested in toppling the Islamic regime, but only to see a change in its conduct.

One of the drafts reportedly calls on the Iranian leader to note the superior standards of living in neighboring countries and consider the advantages of lifting the Islamic Republic's pariah status in the international community.

While its tone is described as conciliatory, the letter also calls on Iran to stop sponsoring terror.

The letter would either be sent to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, or released as an open letter. It is being considered by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as part of a general review of Washington's policy on Iran…”
