U.S. contacted Iran’s ayatollah before Iran election! Sends letter to ayatollah

Ah, now I understand cowardly Obama’s stance. Apparently there was a letter sent to the Iran Ayatollah begging for improvement in relations. According to the Washington Times:

Prior to this month’s disputed presidential election in Iran, the Obama administration sent a letter to the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for an improvement in relations, according to interviews and the leader himself.

Ayatollah Khamenei confirmed the letter toward the end of a lengthy sermon last week, in which he accused the United States of fomenting protests in his country in the aftermath of the disputed June 12 presidential election.

U.S. officials declined to discuss the letter on Tuesday, a day in which President Obama gave his strongest condemnation yet of the Iranian crackdown against protesters.

An Iranian with knowledge of the overture, however, told The Washington Times that the letter was sent between May 4 and May 10 and laid out the prospect of “cooperation in regional and bilateral relations” and a resolution of the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program.

Oh BTW, also according to the White House, the protests in Iran are a direct result of Obama’s “Cairo Speech”.
