"Soon after he took office, President Barack
Obama began a process ultimately designed to reestablish full US
diplomatic relations with Iran, including a reopening of embassies, an
Israeli daily reported Sunday. The initiative, part of a wider shift in
America’s diplomatic orientation, aimed at reaching understandings with
Tehran over suspending its nuclear program, Maariv claimed, citing “two
Western diplomats very close to the administration.”
The initiative led to at least two US-Iran meetings, the report said. Israel was made aware of the contacts, and opposed them.
But Iran rebuffed the “diplomatic hand”
offered by the White House, Maariv reported. The Islamist regime
“opposed any sign of normalization with the US, and refused to grant a
‘prize’ to the Americans,” according to an anonymous Israeli source
quoted by the paper."
