House Speaker Boehner says does not trust Iranian leaders

>

"I don't trust the Iranians. I don't think we need to bring them into this, and I would hope that the negotiations that are under way are serious negotiations, but I have my doubts," Boehner said at a news conference.

He was responding to a report in the Wall Street Journal that President Barack Obama sent a secret letter to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamanei, last month about the shared U.S. and Iranian interest in fighting the militant Islamist group.
