The United States on Monday rejected a proposal floated by Iranian officials in which Tehran would cooperate in the fight against Islamic State forces in exchange for flexibility on its nuclear program. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the effort by world powers to persuade Iran to give up its nuclear program is "entirely separate" from President Barack Obama's attempts to build a coalition against Islamic State. He stated, "The United States will not be in the position of trading aspects of Iran's nuclear program to secure commitments to take on ISIL." http://bit.ly/1v08I04 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
