DescriptionThe US has called on Iran to stop arming militants in Iraq at the first bilateral public talks between the two countries in almost 30 years.
US envoy Ryan Crocker said his Iranian counterpart had rejected the charges at the four-hour talks in Baghdad, which focused exclusively on Iraq's security.

Both countries agreed that a secure and stable Iraq was in their interests.

Iran's ambassador, Hassan Kazemi-Qomi, described the meeting as a success and said there were plans for future talks.

As the talks ended, a car bomb exploded near an important Sunni mosque in the centre of Baghdad, killing at least 20 people and wounding dozens of others.
