Obama’s Secret Letter to Iran’s Khamenei Bypasses Israel
US President Obama reportedly wrote a secret letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei urging Iran to reach a nuclear deal, without informing Israel.
Senior sources have revealed that US President Barack Obama secretly wrote to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei in mid-October, and urged Iran to reach a deal on its nuclear program and join the US coalition against Islamic State (ISIS).
The letter, revealed by Wall Street Journal, told Khamenei that cooperation on ISIS depends on an agreement being reached by the November 24 deadline regarding Iran’s nuclear program, which Israel has warned aims to build nuclear weapons.
Obama administration officials didn’t deny the letter when asked by foreign diplomats in recent days, the report added, although the US didn’t inform Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates about the letter. The move is seen as disregarding the security concerns those countries have raised regarding Iran’s nuclear program and a potential nuclear arms race it could spark.
Khamenei has called for Israel’s destruction, and last month around the time of Obama’s letter blamed America for creating ISIS, while Iran’s Revolutionary Guards recently clarified America remains its number one enemy.
Just last week American and Arab officials revealed to the Wall Street Journal that Obama has moved closer to Iran and it’s terror proxies Hamas and Hezbollah. They noted on secret channels of communications to Iran via senior Shi’ite sources in Iraq.
