U.S. Rejects Iran Bid to Link Islamic State Fight to Nuclear Concessions
(Reuters) The U.S. on Monday rejected an Iranian proposal to cooperate in the fight against the Islamic State 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 Obama's attempts to build a coalition against the Islamic State. "The United States will not be in the position of trading aspects of Iran's nuclear program to secure commitments to take on ISIL," he said.
