A report indicates US President Obama has been easing sanctions on Iran for five months without Congressional approval, and despite the lack of any agreement over the Islamic regime's nuclear weapons program. Sources in Congress revealed that Obama's administration has been suspending or lifting many sanctions without informing Congress since Iranian President Hasan Rouhani was elected in June, reports the World Tribune. An unnamed House staffer stated that “orders to stop the designations for new sanctions came from the White House," adding "this has not gone down well in the Treasury.” Congressional sources added that Obama's policy has allowed Iran to maintain its crude oil exports. The Tribune report falls in line with previous analysis that warned that Obama was rushing to seal a deal with Iran, and in the process was turning his back on US allies, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
