QUESTION: Could I ask you about Iran? The President promised consequences when the Iranians rejected the nuclear fuel deal, and there's a meeting tomorrow of the P-5 plus Germany in Brussels. What is the best that you can expect out of that, given that your Russian counterpart said that there are no prospects for new sanctions? Are you just going to be satisfied with adding names to asset freezes and travel bans?

MR. KELLY: Well, first of all, let's talk for a minute about what's going to happen tomorrow. There is going to be a meeting that's been called by Javier Solana of the political directors of the P-5+1, political directors or their representatives. And I think that they're going to basically talk about three or four things.

One is, of course, that Iran, as the President said, is having trouble getting to yes on the proposal that the IAEA has put forward on sending their low-enriched uranium out of the country, so they're going to discuss responses to that. They have also not been responsive to the invitation of the P-5+1 itself to sit down again and talk about the nuclear issue. They're going to discuss the recent IAEA report of noncompliance and the ramifications of that and what can be expected in the meeting of the Board of Governors of the IAEA on November 26th.

And then finally, and last but not least at all, is to talk about what the President said that we have to start turning our attention to, and that's developing a package of measures that will show to Iran the seriousness of the consequences of their noncompliance with the requirements of the international community. And I think that the important thing here is that there is unity in the P-5+1 of the overall goal of getting Iran to live up to its obligations, and there is a commitment by all members of the P-5+1 to this dual track, which includes not only engagement but also pressure.

So as the President said, over the next few weeks, we're going to consult with our partners and allies about what we can do to show Iran that their nonresponsiveness, if you will, is - will have real consequences.

QUESTION: So the open-ended application of these consequences that the President mentioned seems to be - I mean, it'll just go on and on. I mean, will --

MR. KELLY: Well, it's not open-ended. No, I mean, he was very clear that this is not - this is not open-ended, that there is an end to this. And I think he's pointed to the end of this year, which is coming very quickly.

QUESTION: So we're still on to the end of this year? That's still the deadline for that?

MR. KELLY: Well, this is a multilateral approach, and I - we will have to do this in consultation with our allies and partners. But I think that everybody realizes that we have to approach this with some urgency.

Peter.

QUESTION: Yes, Ian, you mentioned a package of measures. If you don't mind, could you name just some?

MR. KELLY: Can I name them?

QUESTION: Yes.

MR. KELLY: I'm going to decline from naming them at the present time. This is something that's going to be discussed within the P-5+1 and within various multilateral fora. But I'd - it's - it wouldn't be productive for me to get into specifics right now.

QUESTION: Thank you.
