WASHINGTON: Reports that U.S. President Barack Obama recently sent a letter to Tehran's leadership ahead of the looming deadline for talks on Iran's nuclear program 'are not accurate,' a senior U.S. administration official said on Monday. 'We have left the difficult work of the nuclear negotiations to our team on the ground in Vienna,' the official said.
