Ms Clinton's Wild Ride: Iran's Supreme Leader Says US on "Wrong Path"

Related Post: Ms Clinton’s Wild Ride - A US “Grand Strategy” on Israel-Palestine-Iran?

khameneiIn a mirror image of Hillary Clinton's tough comments on Iran and the revelation of the US offer to Russia to swap missile defense for Tehran's nuclear programme,  Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a Tehran conference on Palestine that President Obama was following the "wrong path" of his predecessor, George W. Bush: "Even the new president of America, who has come to power with slogans about changing Bush's policies, is defending state terrorism by talking about unconditional commitment to Israel's security."

Question: is Khamenei responding to Clinton or is Clinton responding to Khamenei? Or are the two running in parallel paths, with Palestine as the symbolic issue of division?
