The United States could end up cooperating with Iran to stop militant gains in Iraq, Secretary of State John Kerry suggested Monday in an interview with Yahoo!News. But a Pentagon spokesman denied Monday that any military coordination with Iran is in the cards. In his interview with Yahoo!News, Kerry didn't say that cooperation with Iran is under active discussion inside the administration. "Let's see what Iran might or might not be willing to do before we start making any pronouncements," he said. But he went on to say that the he "wouldn't rule out anything that would be constructive to providing real stability."
