The White House denies that any such trade-off is in the works.

Translation: Obama and Kerry are working to give U.S. nukes to Iran so the Iranian mullahs won't have to work so hard and to be “fair” to them. Why not, he got congressional approval to arm “moderate” Islamic fighters? Surely it's only fair to give them nukes.
