Rice sees no US-Iran talks on Iraq any time soon

NEW YORK, Sep 24 (Reuters) The United States does not plan fresh US-Iranian talks on how to stabilize Iraq any time soon but will leave open the possibility for such discussions, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said today.

''I am saying I think we leave that channel open but I don't see that we are going to pursue it imminently,'' Rice told Reuters in an interview, referring to talks between the US and Iranian ambassadors to Iraq that focus on how to bring greater stability to Iraq.
