The Iran Project - Spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of Iran Nasser Kanaani dismissed�the possibility of any meeting between the Iranian and US presidents on the sidelines of the upcoming UN General Assembly in New York.

Asked by reporters about the likelihood of a meeting between the presidents of Iran and the US in New York, Nasser Kanaani stated at a Monday presser that, �Such a plan is not on the agenda.�

The spokesperson noted that Iran and the US are involved in �indirect negotiations� which relate to a series of definite issues, such as the exchange of prisoners and the release of Iran�s foreign assets.

Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian rejected any connection between the exchange of prisoners with the US and the release of Iran�s assets frozen abroad.

He then asserted that the agreement between Iran and the US, mediated by a third country, contains two separate agendas about the prisoner swap and the release of Iran�s assets.

The indirect exchange of messages between Iran and the US has been in progress for months, the top diplomat added, stressing, �We have never been after an interim or little-for-little agreement.�
