Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said he had a “different opinion” on the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding but approved its signing anyway.

Khamenei’s first statement since the MOU was announced was communicated as a written message; the elusive leader hasn’t been seen or heard from since he was wounded in the opening strikes of Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28. His social media accounts relayed his written statement, which began by condemning President Donald Trump for using “all kinds of leverage” to secure a deal “out of desperation.”
