The New York Times reported on Sunday, citing Obama administration officials, that the United States and Iran had agreed in principle to one-on-one negotiations on Iran's nuclear program, but both the White House and Iran have denied the report.
During the final presidential debate on Monday, Obama said he has long offered Iran the possibility of bilateral discussions, a point Carney reiterated, saying, "we are and have been open to pursuing negotiations if and when the Iranians are serious about having negotiations."
