President Barack Obama sent a secret letter in October to Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei asking for support in fighting Islamic State, said two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Obama stressed the two nations’ common interests in fighting the militant group, writing that such cooperation depends on reaching a nuclear accord, said the officials, who asked for anonymity because the letter isn’t public.
