Iran's supreme leader said on Wednesday that his country's hatred for the United States runs deep and differences between the two nations go beyond a few political issues. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's comments on state-run television less than a week before the American presidential elections were seen as a signal that a thaw in U.S.-Iran relations was not expected no matter who wins the upcoming elections. Khamenei said the hatred is rooted in 50 years of U.S. intervention in Iran's domestic affairs. 10/30/08
