U.S. Denies Report of Secret Iran Contacts
(Reuters) Mark Felsenthal - The White House on Monday denied an Israeli newspaper report that accused Washington of secretly negotiating with Tehran to keep the U.S. out of a future Israel-Iran war. Yediot Ahronot said the U.S. told Iran it should refrain from retaliating against U.S. interests if Israel carried out threats to attack Iran. In Jerusalem, an Israeli official said of the report: "It doesn't make sense. There would be no need to make such a promise to the Iranians because they realize the last thing they need is to attack U.S. targets and draw massive U.S. bombing raids."
