Tuesday 12 August 2014 16.18 US Secretary of State John Kerry has urged Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Haidar al-Abadi to quickly form an inclusive government.
Mr Kerry also ruled out sending US combat troops to the country.
"We are urging him to form a new cabinet as swiftly as possible and the US stands ready to support a new and inclusive Iraqi government and particularly its fight against ISIL," he said.
"There will be no reintroduction of American combat forces into Iraq. This is a fight that Iraqis need to join on behalf of Iraq."
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has ordered the country's security forces to stay out of the "political crisis" following fears they could intervene.
Mr Maliki, whose bid to remain in power has faltered, urged security personnel "to stay away from the political crisis and continue in their security and military duties to defend the country" in an online statement.

France's foreign minister has said his European colleagues should be recalled from their holidays for an urgent meeting about delivering arms to Kurds fighting Islamic extremists in Iraq.
Laurent Fabius yesterday wrote to EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, calling on the European Union to "mobilise" to respond to appeals from Iraq's Kurds for arms to fight Islamic State jihadists.
EU envoys are meeting today for an emergency meeting over the deepening crisis in Iraq.
In a joint statement, French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel said they wanted the EU to "participate as quickly as possible in the humanitarian operation under way to help the civilian population facing the acts of violence of Islamic State".
Mr Fabius also announced that France would send a further 20 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including medicine and equipment to make water drinkable.
This follows 18 tonnes of aid delivered over the weekend and further drops are planned.
