Claim of Secret US-Iranian Meetings?

Are US and Iranian diplomats meeting secretly in Beirut? Make up your own mind: the original Arabic version (at least online) is no more informative than this Naharnet English summary. This kind of story is typical of certain Arab media and it may be nothing more than a coffeehouse rumor. But I thought I'd note it, given the interplay between Washington and Tehran on and since Nowruz.
