According to Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat, Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi reiterated the position during a conversation with US President Donald Trump.
A statement from the Iraqi prime minister's office said al-Zaidi stressed that Iraqi territory should not be used as a base for aggression against neighbouring countries.
He also emphasised the importance of continued consultations between Baghdad and Washington on matters of mutual interest, saying peaceful solutions and constructive dialogue were essential for maintaining regional security.
Both leaders agreed on the importance of joint efforts to address current challenges and promote regional stability by prioritising diplomacy and negotiations.
Meanwhile, Iraq's Ministry of Defence has announced an increase in military deployments along its defensive lines in western Iraq.
According to Major General Yahya Rasool Abdullah, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence, forces from the Al-Jazira and Western Nineveh Operations Commands have begun strengthening their positions along the defensive line between Rawa and Hatra.
The move aims to maintain security and stability in the Al-Jazira region, north of the Euphrates River, as well as in Nineveh and Salah al-Din provinces.
The military deployment is also intended to secure desert areas, pursue remaining militant groups and prevent them from using these locations as safe havens.
The spokesperson said the initiative would also provide a shorter route for civilians and commercial transport, potentially supporting investment and agricultural activities in the region.
Separately, Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Ali al-Zaidi visited the Commission for Military Industries on Thursday, where he inspected locally manufactured and upgraded military equipment.
According to the Prime Minister's Media Office, the equipment included various types of ammunition, light, medium and heavy weapons, drone systems, and surveillance and monitoring equipment.
Al-Zaidi expressed support for developing Iraq's domestic defence industry and instructed officials to involve the private sector and expand partnerships with specialised companies.
He said Iraq had the local expertise and workforce needed to manufacture weapons and military equipment according to its own requirements.
The prime minister described the development of modern defence industries as an important pillar of national sovereignty. He also stressed the need to invest in research and development and keep pace with rapid technological advancements in military production.
He directed officials to provide the commission with the necessary resources and support to expand its production and technical capabilities.
The initiative aims to meet the requirements of Iraq's armed forces and reduce dependence on foreign suppliers.
The Commission for Military Industries was established recently and operates under the authority of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Its primary objective is to rebuild Iraq's defence industrial base and meet the requirements of the country's armed forces and security institutions.
Iraq's military manufacturing industry dates back to the 1970s and expanded significantly during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s.
However, the 1991 Gulf War and international sanctions imposed during the 1990s resulted in the destruction of a significant part of the country's weapons stockpiles and industrial infrastructure.
