President Obama is prepared to act unilaterally and suspend sanctions on Iran in order to help resolve nuclear talks by a self-imposed November 24 deadline, according to a report.

A senior White House official says, while the president lacks the power to lift the sanctions, he can and intends to suspend them in order to help negotiate away Iran’s power to build nuclear arms.

‘We wouldn’t seek congressional legislation in any comprehensive agreement for years,’ the official told the New York Times.

This is a direct result, unintentional or not, of our reliance on Iran to help contain ISIL.
