The United States and Iran on Thursday both denied a report that they were nearing an interim deal under which Tehran would curb its nuclear program in return for sanctions relief.
"This report is false and misleading," said a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council, referring to an article on the London-based Middle East Eye website. "Any reports of an interim deal are false."
That accord, aimed at keeping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, required Tehran to accept restrictions on its nuclear program and more extensive U.N. inspections in exchange for an end to U.N., U.S. and EU sanctions. It said Iran would cease enriching uranium to purity of 60% or above and continue cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog in return for exporting up to 1 million barrels of oil per day and access to "income and other frozen funds abroad."by more than $3 a barrel on the Middle East Eye report before paring their losses after the White House denied it.
Two Iranian officials told Reuters there had been progress but no agreement was imminent. A third said Malley and Irvani met at least three times in the past weeks but gave no details.
