By Parisa Hafezi ANKARA (Reuters) - President Hassan Rouhani said on Thursday Iran posed no threat to any other nation and that it wanted interaction with the rest of the world - remarks contrasting with the view of the country's hardline supreme leader. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's ultimate authority, has ruled out further rapprochement with the United States since the consummation of a deal on Iran's disputed nuclear activity that ended years of political and economic isolation. A standoff between Rouhani's government, which saw the deal through, and Khamenei's allies who opposed it, has intensified in the past few months.
