The talks -- reported first by The New York Times and based on discussions with Obama administration officials -- come as Iran is believed to be building a nuclear weapon and as a result is under heavy economic sanctions. Israel is warned that Iran is close to achieving nuclear capability and has pushed for the United State vow to take military action if needed. State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland said Saturday night she has no information to report as of yet. And the Defense Department referred questions to the White House.  Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, has the last word on whether the firs-ever talks should occur, according to The Times.   Iranian officials have insisted that the talks wait until after the presidential election. Election Day is less than three weeks away. And the final debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney, on Monday, is about foreign policy.
