Iran’s supreme leader expressed concern Thursday about recent developments in the United States regarding the ongoing P5+1 nuclear negotiations.

In a series of messages appearing on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Twitter account on Thursday following a meeting with President Hassan Rouhani, the country’s top figure blasted both the Republican letter sent to Iranian leaders earlier this week and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address before Congress on March 3.

“The team of negotiators appointed by Pres. @HassanRouhani has good, considerate & trusty members who work for the benefits of the country,” reads one tweet from Khamenei’s @khamenei_ir account.

He continued: “But I’m worried because the other side in the negotiations has a habit of deception & treason,” using the hashtags #IranTalks and #IranLetter.

The letter, he said, “is indicative of” a “collapse of political ethics” in the U.S, adding that countries cannot break agreements upon changing governments.

Khamenei called Netanyahu a “#ZionistClown” and also took the opportunity to criticize members of Congress who came out strongly against the prime minister’s speech but who he says accused his country of terrorism.
