TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran's supreme leader ruled out Iranian help for any U.S.-led attack on neighboring Afghanistan, saying Wednesday that the United States was not competent to lead a global campaign and calling U.S. behavior disgusting. In a state-run television address to the nation, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the U.S. administration was over-expectant in wanting the whole world to help it following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Iran will not participate in any move under U.S. leadership. Iran will not extend any assistance to the U.S. and its allies in attacking the already suffering Muslim neighboring Afghanistan, Khamenei said in an address to families of soldiers killed in the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.
