Iran rules out cooperating with U.S. in Iraq

NEW YORK (AP) - Iran's foreign minister is ruling out cooperating with the United States in helping Iraq fight Islamic State militants and warning that the terrorist group poses a much broader global threat that needs new thinking to eradicate. <br /> <br /> Mohammad Javad Zarif said Wednesday that Iran has serious doubts about the willingness and ability of the United States to react seriously to the ``menace'' from the Islamic State group ``across the board,'' not just choosing where to confront it as it has just started doing in Iraq. <br /> <br /> France wanted Iran to attend a conference Monday in Paris on crushing the Islamic radicals in Iraq but the U.S. said ``no.'' <br /> <br /> Zarif called the 24 participating nations at the conference ``a coalition of repenters'' because most have supported the Islamic State group for years.
