Washington - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday his country wanted to avoid conflict and called for the withdrawal of US and other foreign forces from Iraq as the only way to ensure peace there.

"We shy away from any kind of conflict, any kind of bloodshed," Ahmadinejad told ABC television.

The Iranian leader, whose country has been accused of stoking sectarian violence in Iraq, said instability there would hurt all countries in the region.

"That's why we're opposed to the presence of Americans," he said.

"We tell them to leave the country and any other foreigner should leave the country and there should be none in Iraq, and you see, we will have peace in Iraq."
