Iraq has said in a statement that talks on the withdrawal of US troops will continue to draw a road to a new bilateral relationship “as long as nothing disturbs the peace of the talks.”
The talks resumed on Sunday following the first long-anticipated meeting on January 27.
They were placed on hold after an attack that killed three US service members at Tower 22 base in Jordan and the retaliatory US strikes that followed.
A strike last week killed a high-level commander of Kataib Hezbollah in Baghdad who Washington said was “directly planning and participating in attacks” on American forces in the Middle East.
Iraq and the US agreed last August to begin talks on a transition of US and coalition forces from their role in aiding Iraq in the conflict against the Islamic State.
The Iraqi government said on Sunday the departure of US troops will consider the security situation and the abilities of Iraqi forces.
Iran-backed militias have struck at US facilities in Iraq, Syria and Jordan 170 times since the beginning of the Hamas-Israel war on October 7.
There have been no new strikes against US forces in Iraq since February 4.
The US strikes against Kataib Hezbollah drew an angry response from the Iraqi government and the Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Shaabi) are a powerful politician factor in the country.
