Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Thursday said a letter from GOP lawmakers warning that Congress or a future president could nix any nuclear agreement with Tehran underscored the "ultimate degree of the collapse of political ethics and the U.S. system's internal disintegration."
"Every time we reach a stage where the end of the negotiations is in sight, the tone of the other side, specifically the Americans, becomes harsher, coarser and tougher," he said. "This is the nature of their tricks and deceptions."
