Here is some more on the subject which may interest you.

The perception is that Israel is going through the stages of sanctions, etc. not with the idea or conviction that at the end, the other side will yield,” he said. “If the purpose was to exert pressure to bring the other side to the table, the rhetoric should be different.

“Obama does think there is still room for negotiations,” Halevy said. “It’s a very courageous thing to say in this atmosphere. In the end, this is what I think: Making foreign policy on Iran a serious issue in the US elections — what Romney has done, in itself — is a heavy blow to the ultimate interests of the United States and Israel.”

Salehi did not say, however, that Iran will not have one-on-one talks with the U.S. Just saying that Iran and the U.S. have no such discussions now.

A U.S. national security council spokesman was forced to say after the report by the Times was published that the one-on-one talks with Iran have not been finalized, but he left the door open for such discussions in future by saying that the U.S. has always been open to bilateral talks with Iran.
