The administration later defended its trolling of the foreign leader.
The online broadside also coincided with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously approving compromise legislation that would give Congress a say on a final agreement with Tehran over its nuclear effort.
Obama is willing to sign the new measure, according to the White House
“The president would be willing to sign the proposed compromise that is working its way through the committee today,” press secretary Josh Earnest said.
