Obama’s meeting with Iran president 'possible,' US says
White House spokesman Jay Carney has talked about the possibility of a meeting between US President Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in New York next week. "It's possible, but it has always been possible," Carney said at a press conference on Thursday. "The extended hand has been there from the moment the president was sworn in," Carney was quoted as saying by Reuters. The remarks were made two days after US National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said that there were “currently no plans” for President Obama to meet with President Rouhani on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
