Confirming reports that President Obama sent a letter to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei relating to the nuclear talks, senior Iranian officials accused the U.S. of hypocrisy, saying the president adopted a warm and friendly tone in the secret correspondence, but a harsh one when speaking publicly.

Obama “uses bullying words against Iran when he speaks to the media, but picks up a very friendly and kindly tone when he writes a letter” to Khamenei, parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani told state-run television.

The semi-official Fars news agency said Larijani blasted the U.S.’s “hypocritical attitude in and outside the nuclear talks,” referring to multilateral negotiations that enter their final days next week ahead of a Nov. 24 deadline for a comprehensive agreement.

Confirmation that Obama recently wrote to Khamenei also came from Ali Shamkhani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SCNC), who according to state television Wednesday night said that the regime has responded in the past to such letters – although he did not say specifically whether it had done so in this case.

Shamkhani, who was speaking during a meeting of SNSC directors and experts, echoed the accusations of two-facedness, Fars and other Iranian outlets reported.
