TIKRIT, Iraq, March 5 (Reuters) - No date has been set for a new round of talks between Iran and the United States on improving Iraq's security, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, told Reuters on Wednesday.

Asked whether Iranian media reports that Iranian and U.S. officials would meet in Baghdad on Thursday were correct, he said: "No". Speaking on the sidelines of a conference in the Iraqi town of Tikrit, he said there was "nothing in place". (Reporting by Michael Holden in Tikrit, writing by Ross Colvin)
