Iran Supreme Leader Slams GOP Letter

Iran’s supreme leader called Republican senators’ letter to Tehran the “ultimate degree of the collapse of political ethics and the U.S. system’s internal disintegration.” According to Iran’s news agency, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei noted that the GOP’s insistence that any deal struck by President Obama could be null and void when he leaves office is a sign of America’s “tricks and deceits.” Khamenei has the final say over decisions in Iran, especially about its nuclear program. “Of course I am worried, because the other side is known for opacity, deceit, and backstabbing,” he said.
