The supreme leader for the Islamic Republic of Iran posted online a letter mocking President Obama for the international agreement over that nation's nuclear program, warning that some of the nations negotiating alongside the U.S. with Iran are not trustworthy.
The Daily Mail reported the posting came only eight minutes after Obama finished a White House press conference to defend the agreement.
Critics of the deal have loomed large and loud, many contending that Iran, a leading sponsor of terrorism around the globe, cannot be trusted. In fact, Obama has explained there were procedures set up to verify Iran's actions under the agreement.
The Mail reported that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei posted on Twitter that the U.S. should be watching nations like Russia and China.
"You are well aware that some of the six states participating in negotiations are not trustworthy at all," Khamenei wrote, the Mail said.

The agreement involves Iran on one side and Russia, France, China, Germany, the United Kingdom and the U.S. on the other.
The goal was to put limits on Tehran's nuclear program, and compensate the rogue nation by lifting economic sanctions.
Khamenei thanked the negotiating team, and then raise the possibility of "possible violation of commitments by the other parties."
He also warned that the deal still "needs careful scrutiny and must be directed into the defined legal process."
"The religious mullah offered his hope that Iran will 'maintain unity and dignity so that national interests can be achieved in a peaceful and wisely atmosphere,'" Daily Mail said.
Obama had told reporters, according to the report, "Really the only argument you can make against the verification and inspection mechanism that we've put forward is that Iran is so intent on obtaining a nuclear weapon that no inspection regime and no verification mechanism would be sufficient, because they'd find some way to get around it, because they're untrustworthy."
He said under those conditions, "that means, presumably, that you can't negotiate."
