By HADI MIZBAN (AP)

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday lashed at the United States during an unprecedented trip to Iraq and demanded that major powers leave the region.

Ahmadinejad, the first Iranian president to visit Iraq, said the foreign presence in the Arab country was an "insult to the regional nations and a humiliation."
