The Twitter account associated with Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, is tweeting about the now infamous open letter from 47 Senate Republicans warning Iran that any agreement reached with the United States could be undone by future presidents unless the U.S. Senate approves of the deal.
And it looks like the not “legally binding” nature of the agreement is news to Iran:
#IranLetter is indicative of collapse of political ethics in US. Acc int'l regulations, states can't breach agreements upon change of govts.

Well, actually — we can. And that’s why the letter was necessary.
But if Iran doesn’t believe Sen. Cotton and the 46 other Republican Senators, why not listen to Secretary of State John Kerry, who as we reported yesterday, confirmed that the letter was basically accurate?

Dear Secretary Zarif: Never mind. Our own secretary of state said the thing wasn't legally binding. Have a nice day. Love, 47 Senators

John Kerry: Tom Cotton is right. Javad Zarif is wrong. It's a "non-binding" deal.
Thanks to #47Patriots for eliciting that clarification.— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) March 11, 2015
Khamenei also had harsh words for Dems who skipped Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech:
When this #ZionistClown spoke at Congress, members of US govt. made remarks to deny any role in this event. 1/2 #NetanyahuSpeech
— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) March 12, 2015
But at the same time they accused #Iran of terrorism; these remarks were cheap and despicable. 2/2 pic.twitter.com/WH8GtHTSV5

Over to you, Dems. This is the regime you’re bending over backwards to appease?
