White House denies nuclear report
The White House denied a report Saturday that said the United States and Iran have agreed to one-on-one talks over Iran’s nuclear program.
Such talks, as reported by The New York Times, would be a first.
“It’s not true that the United States and Iran have agreed to one-on-one talks or any meeting after the American elections,” White House National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement.
“The President has made clear that he will prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and we will do what we must to achieve that. It has always been our goal for sanctions to pressure Iran to come in line with its obligations. The onus is on the Iranians to do so, otherwise they will continue to face crippling sanctions and increased pressure."
Citing an anonymous senior official within the Obama administration, The New York Times reported earlier Saturday that Iranian officials insisted the talks not start until after the presidential vote.
Secret discussions between U.S. and Iranian officials date almost to the start of Obama’s term, the newspaper said.
Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and to fill energy shortages, but Western leaders believe Tehran is an aspiring armed nuclear power. U.N. inspectors have also expressed doubts about the program's aims.

Even if it is true, nothing will come out of it, the Iranians just playing for time.
Hamsta, that mightve been true had you said Ron Paul, but Romney, nope!
Send in Romney to ship their jobs overseas.
who is the woman that is said to have travelled to qatar to broker these talks and make iran a secret offer? valeri jarrett? or the intensely anti israel samantha power, obama's untalked of foreign policy advisor.
True that, Obama is selling out Isreal. The (USI) United States of Islam is scarry and Obama has set up their foundation for it. They should of called the "Arab Spring" to "Obama's Setup to ISU"
Is that Rove talking, or Romney, or Ryan, who is the real Republican Candidate.....No Truth Here...Just More Republican Liars........ Don't Drink The Republican Kool-Ade ......Charles Bowen Solomon Stone

DISGRACEFUL connection betweeen WH and the nytimes.
Um, an "anonmyous senior official" = "pssst...this oughta make good copy! Let's go with it!"
It's sad that they would be afraid to admit this prior to the election, because it's what we should have already been doing. We can NOT afford another war.
I don't see why they would admit to anything that hasn't happened.
Plus, why do you think the POTUS isn't kissing Israel's behind?
Israel wants the US to lead a war with Iran; the POTUS wants to avoid that.
Nope, we do NOT need to be enbroiled in another war.
Obama is selling out Isreal. The big picture is the (USI) United States of Islam and it is scarry. Obama has set up their foundation for it. They should of called the "Arab Spring" to "Obama's Setup to USI" , This needs to be stopped now or our children, children will be dealing with what we didn't take care of now.
The POTUS has sold out no one, and he's not going to; if he believes the United States is threatened, he will use due diligence and take action.
I do not get why people think that one man, and one man alone, can make the United States an Islamic nation, particularly when he is Christian...
Just because he doesn't take the same apparent joy in war that many people seem to doesn't mean he's uniformed as to the state of our security.
It isn't his job to "stamp out Islam"; it's not his role as a leader, and the people who cannot differentiate a religion from terrorism need to focus on education, another thing he embraces.
banasy©, Let me clarify it's not all Muslims but it's the extremist.
But you say, POTUS embraces education, you might be right however, that is the only thing he embraces. The attack on the embassy… is a prime example…. He showed great leadership there by cover-ups and lies by his administration and his puppet Clinton. Leadership comes from the top down. He needs to take responsibility.
no, you cannot afford iran with nuclear weapons.
dont you know who hitler was?
How??? And doing WHAT?
What's his plan?
Still haven't given what his plan is, other "I have what it takes."...which isn't a plan, it's a pat on his own back.
Oh, I see, we're not gonna find out until after he is elected? (Which he won't be.)
Lol.
Yeah, okay.
Hi, Hamsta.
Actually he has a long time ago. It's available in pdf format and has been for months.
But, his plan doesn't actually give anything that will create jobs. Cutting taxes doesn't create jobs at the level taxes currently are. Cutting taxes when they are 65% would have an impact, but not at this level. And one needs to look at REAL taxes paid, not nominal tax rates. US companies on the whole DO NOT pay anywhere close to the 35%, or in many cases 25% (which is what Romney is talking of cutting them to). Jobs are created when companies have a demand for their products and services that can't be met by current employment levels. An increase in demand for products and services by the mass of the population can only happen if they have more income. And this has to be kick-started in some way, which is where 'appropriate' government spending could help, accompanied by some income redistribution via the tax code. Cutting costs (i.e., laying off government workers) and cutting taxes does not increase the spending power of a major portion of the population.
It's been four years and I still don't know what Obama's plan is. So, what's the difference?
And just what would be wrong with talking with them if it prevents yet ANOTHER WAR?
No "talks" should go on unless the US has discussed this first with our Allies. While it sounds wonderful to have "talks" – I wouldn't trust Iran and I would question their intent in doing so. Look at what happened in WWII when Europe was so eager to find a "diplomatic" solution.
I don't see anything wrong with talking to Iran before you bomb them. The President thinks he has more time to come up with a better plan because Iran has no means of delivering a "weapon" (missile). I think this is a mistake because enriched plutonium could fall into the wrong hands and be used as a terrorist weapon at some future time. The time to deal with it is now. Probably is it's an election season. Something will happen after the election either way.
So by the same logic, every country around the world should abandon their nuclear energy programs because nuclear fuel or waste could fall into the wrong hands?
And this bribe will cost us how much?
It would be the second time that Iran has oen something or made some promise that could potentially influence and election.
When it comes to Iran, the President's cool irked Iran. They want to jump on him, kick him or pee him. The President just let them jump over the cliff, the same way he told Romney " Governor, please proceed"
What a smart strategy. Iran couldn't even laugh or cry.
more on gossip
Hilarious that the US boldly says it will resort to any means to stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon...short of actually negotiating with them one-on-one.
Thus far IRAN is the one who has refused negotiation, fabricated NY times article notwithstanding.
Romney wants a war with Iran, that's why he's ramming $3T down their throats
to all the isolationists, non interventionists and just plain old jew haters....trust me; if you dont go to war with iran to take down its nuke sites, they will bring war to you.
