Obama Writes Rare Letter to Irans Supreme Leader on Islamic State Associated Press (11/07/14) Lee, Matthew; Pace, Julie President Obama reportedly wrote a letter to Irans Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei about the fight against Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq. The letter reportedly described a shared interest between the two nations in fighting the terror group and stressed that any cooperation would depend on Iran agreeing to a deal regarding its nuclear program. The Obama administration would not confirm or deny that the president wrote the letter. Although both the United States and Iran are engaged in military efforts against the Islamic State, the Obama administration has repeatedly insisted that it will not coordinate its actions with Iran--a policy White House spokesman Josh Earnest reiterated in response to reports about Obamas letter.
