The original headline of his article is "White House: Obama talks with Netanyahu on Iran, no meeting sought", and written by staff at CNN. This article describes the sensitive situation between Iran and America with regards to Iran's nuclear power. Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly requested a personal meeting with Obama to discuss the Iran situation, but the White House declined, it was then said by the White House that no request was ever put forward. Obama has a set of "red lines", a set of guidelines essentially for Iran regarding their nuclear tests, and Iran has claimed to not know these guidelines. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told CNN that America has their eyes on Iran and they have good "intelligence" on Iran.
I think that this is a delicate situation, partly because of the lack of good communication. Reading this article, it is clear that Iran, Israel, and America are all confused by each other`s wants and opinions. The US is playing a dangerous game here, unless they are pretty certain that there is a threat to Homeland Security, they should keep out of Iran`s nuclear progress. Although it wasn`t just America who started this, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was worried and contacted Obama, or at least allegedly contacted Obama. But he was clearly worried about the situation with Iran. I believe that America and Israel should relax slightly about Iran, but still keep them under quiet surveillance...

I do agree partly with Andrew in the sense that this is a very delicate situation. However, I do not think that the US should tone down their interest in this situation completely. There could possibly be some kind of threat and they need to make sure that they keep a very close eye on Iran.
