Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has responded to overtures from U.S. President Barack Obama amid nuclear talks by sending him a secret letter, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
Citing an Iranian diplomat, the paper said the Iranian cleric had written to Obama in recent weeks in response to a presidential letter sent in October.
Obama's letter suggested the possibility of U.S.-Iranian cooperation in fighting Islamic State if a nuclear deal was secured, the paper said, quoting the diplomat.
Khamenei's letter was "respectful" but noncommittal, it quoted the diplomat as saying.
Both the White House and the Iranian mission at the United Nations declined to comment on the report.
Khamenei said this week he could accept a compromise in the nuclear talks and gave his strongest defense yet of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's decision to negotiate with the West, a policy opposed by powerful hardliners at home.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is due to address the U.S. Congress on Iran on March 3 - to the annoyance of the Obama administration - has vowed "to foil this bad and dangerous agreement."

Is that why Zero is so outraged Benjamin Netanyahu is coming to town?
Ten bucks says that Obola has offered that 9th Century knuckledragger in Tehran “flexibility”.
With Obama cutting deals in secret with Iran, its good Bibi is going to speak to the US congress.
Bibi is doing what he should and can do to head off an Nuke Holocaust in his country. Sanctions might stop Irans plan to annihilate Israel’s Jews. Just like in WWII there are Jews in high places in the USA that watched while Germany killed millions.
If Bibi doesn’t succeed Obama will keep extending these fruitless talks allowing Iran all the time she needs to Nuke up.
We either get a Holocaust or a nuclear war when Israel levels Iran in response to losing most of its 8 million population.
I believe every sane person should by know what Iran’s plans for the Jews are. And Bibi has every right to ask for sanctions.
I would also mention that Saudis, Egyptians, and other Arab states in the region would start a nuclear arms race to establish deterrents against Iran. Note that they know Israel has lots of nukes and yet never worried about that enough to start a nuclear arms race because of Israel.
Iran however is ruled by violent religious maniacs who scare these Arabs in a way Israel never has.
In return for letting Iran have nuclear weapons, Iran agrees to manage the Middle East.
Its a good deal for everyone. Obama gets his legacy, and...
Very good points, esp about Israel’s nukes & the Arabs
Does Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei know Obama never reads letters ,he never reads the ones from Congress
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
