Iran, U.S. Deny Report on Bilateral Talks
On October 20, the New York Times published an article claiming that the United States and Iran had agreed to hold bilateral talks after the U.S. presidential election. The article was allegedly based on comments by anonymous White House officials. Later that night, National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor denied the article’s claim. On October 21, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi told Fars news agency, “We do not have anything such as talks with the United States.” But he mentioned that Iran plans to negotiate with the P5+1 in late November. The following is Tommy Vietor's October 20 press statement.

They will shape the new order in the world’s most volatile region more than any other political bloc. Yet they have diverse goals and different constituencies. Sometimes they are even rivals.
