clearly that a policy scarcely distinguishable from (at least
temporary) appeasement in Iran had been substituted for that of
gradual application of sanctions which we advocated. You will
observe that penultimate sentence of paragraph No.4 of that

temporary basis, of offering inducements 0 Even now we cannot
disguise our apprehension that development of positive policy
vis a vis Iran is too faltering in conception.
