ANKARA: Iran has denied a Wall Street Journal report that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recently responded to a letter sent in October by US President Barack Obama suggesting cooperation with Iran in fighting Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
“There has been no new letter from Iran’s side,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said, according to a report carried late on Sunday by the official IRNA news agency.
“The claim made by the Wall Street Journal is an unprofessional media game.” The Journal cited an unnamed Iranian diplomat as saying Khamenei’s letter had been “respectful” but noncommittal.
