Mosul battle will be finished within days – Iraqi army chief

Iraqi security forces are only days away from completing the operation to recapture Mosul from ISIS, the BBC quoted army’s chief of staff as saying on Friday.

Lt Gen Othman al-Ghanimi said he hoped the group would be defeated in the city before the Islamic holy month of Ramadan begins on 26 May.

Recent gains in the north meant the remaining militants were being squeezed into an ever smaller area, he added.

Mosul fell to ISIS in 2014 and is its last major urban stronghold in Iraq.

Pro-government forces launched a major offensive to retake the city in October with the support of US-led coalition air strikes.

They managed to take full control of the eastern half of Mosul in January and started an assault on the west the following month.

Fewer than 1,000 militants are now besieged in several north-western districts, including the Old City, along with as many as 450,000 civilians.

“The security forces are carrying out a big and effective effort. I say that ISIS will be finished in days, God willing,” Gen Ghanimi said.

“I say that the rest of Mosul will be liberated before the holy month of Ramadan.”

U.S. to arm Syrian Kurds fighting Islamic State, despite Turkey’s ire

(Reuters) Despite fierce opposition from NATO ally Turkey, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved supplying arms to Kurdish YPG fighters to support an operation to retake the Syrian city of Raqqa from Islamic State, U.S. officials said on Tuesday.

Ankara views the Kurdish YPG militia, fighting within a larger U.S.-backed coalition, as the Syrian extension of the Kurdish PKK militant group, which has fought an insurgency in southeastern Turkey since 1984.

There was no immediate reaction from Turkey, whose president, Tayyip Erdogan, is expected to meet Trump in Washington next week.
The Pentagon immediately sought to stress that it saw arming the Kurdish forces “as necessary to ensure a clear victory” in Raqqa, Islamic State’s de facto capital in Syria and a hub for planning the group’s attacks against the West.

“We are keenly aware of the security concerns of our coalition partner Turkey,” Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said in a statement as she traveled in Lithuania with defense secretary Jim Mattis.

“We want to reassure the people and government of Turkey that the U.S. is committed to preventing additional security risks and protecting our NATO ally,” White said.
The United States has long directly supplied arms to the Arab components of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces, which include YPG fighters. White said Washington would still prioritize supplying those Arab fighters within the SDF.

One U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the equipment for the Kurdish fighters could include small arms, ammunition, machine guns, armored vehicles and engineering equipment.

Equipment provided to the SDF would be limited, specific to a mission and provided “incrementally as objectives are reached” White said.

STRAIN ON ALLIANCE

The U.S. alliance with Turkey has proven decisive in the battle against Islamic State in Syria, providing the coalition with access to Turkey’s Incirlik air base to wage strikes against the militants, officials say.

Mattis, speaking before the announcement to reporters in Denmark and after talks with coalition members, sounded upbeat about working through tensions with Ankara.
“Our intent is to work with the Turks, alongside one another, to take Raqqa down, and we’re going to sort it out and we’ll figure out how we’re going to do it,” Mattis said.
Mattis called Turkish Defense Minister Fikri Isik on Tuesday, the Pentagon said. It was unclear how Isik responded but the Pentagon said that both “affirmed their support for peace and stability in both Iraq and Syria.”

The decision to arm the Syrian Kurds will likely cast a shadow over Erdogan’s visit to Washington, policy experts said.

“There have been bad episodes in the relationship between the United States and Turkey, but this one is serious because it gets to the heart of Turkish security priorities,” said Bulent Aliriza, director of the Turkey project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

“You’ve now got a question mark over the U.S.-Turkish security relationship that is pretty serious,” Aliriza said.

Ankara had long argued that Washington should switch support for the planned assault on Raqqa from the Kurdish YPG militia to Syrian rebels Turkey has trained and led against Islamic State for the past year.

But the U.S. administration was skeptical that the Turkish-backed force was large enough or sufficiently trained.

White appeared to allude to that conclusion when she said: “The SDF, partnered with enabling support from U.S. and coalition forces, are the only force on the ground that can successfully seize Raqqa in the near future.”

Saleh Muslim, co-chair of the Syrian Kurdish PYD party, the YPG’s political affiliate, said the U.S. decision was expected.

“The Raqqa campaign is running in parallel with the international coalition against terrorism. It’s natural that they would provide weapons” to the SDF and the armed groups fighting as part of it, Muslim said.

In a sign of recent tensions, Turkish warplanes carried out air strikes against Kurdish YPG fighters in northeastern Syria and Iraq’s Sinjar region late last month, killing less than 30 fighters, according to one estimate.

The United States has played down Turkish accusations of links between the YPG and PKK. Ankara believes the YPG’s advances will fuel anti-Kurdish sentiment in predominantly Arab parts of Syria such as Raqqa, and threaten Syria’s territorial integrity.

WATCH: Peshmerga win support from US Congress

Tag : United States Peshmerga US Congress Tom Cole John Carter

WASHINGTON DC, United States (Kurdistan24) – In interviews with Kurdistan24, two Republican Congressman spoke very highly of the Peshmerga.

The role the Peshmerga have played in fighting the Islamic State (IS) has won the Kurds and their aspirations a very sympathetic hearing in Washington.

Tom Cole, who represents Oklahoma’s 4th Congressional District, and John Carter, from Texas’ 31st District, each expressed their deep appreciation.

“They’ve been tremendous. Best troops on the ground, without a doubt,” Cole stated.

“Most reliable ally from the American standpoint. Most dangerous enemy from [IS’] standpoint,” he added.

Carter spoke similarly. “The Kurds have really been stand-up fighters since day one,” he affirmed. “They’ve certainly proven their worth to the fight.”

Both Congressmen sit on the House Appropriations Committee, and both of their districts include major US Army bases: Ft. Sill in Oklahoma and Ft. Hood, the world’s largest military installation, in Texas.

Thus, these two Congressmen pay particular attention to the conflicts in which the US Army is engaged.

One important question involves US plans for its security architecture in the area after IS is defeated as a conventional military force. Should the US continue to maintain a military base in the Kurdistan Region?

Kurdistan24 asked Cole if he would favor such an idea, and the Oklahoma Congressman responded enthusiastically.

“As long as our Kurdish friends support that, and I think they would,” he responded. Cole noted the US had a very positive experience there.

“That’s been an area that we can operate out of stably,” he said, “and frankly, where we’ve got a supportive local population.”

Cole further explained, “The lesson of [IS] is that we left too soon.” We failed to secure our “hard-won victories in Iraq,” he said, “and I hope that we don’t make that mistake again.”

Adam Montana (Dinar Guru) –   [What will happen to the other major currencies when the CBI RV’s the IQD/USD exchange rate? The countries using the EUR, the GBP, the CHF, the JPY, and the CNY all have international corporations invested in Iraqi oil with contracts based on today’s exchange rates.  How will a radical upward IQD/USD RV (which effectively decreases the value of the USD against the IQD) affect the EUR/USD and the GBP/USD and the CHF/USD and the JPY/USD and the CNY/USD exchange rates?  Will these other major global currencies also be devalued and what in your opinion will that do to an already stressed global economy?]  This is a great question, because it opens up the floor to discuss how an RV is really a zero-sum game, mostly because we are talking about a fiat currency. When the FED prints more USD, we don’t actually gain that money.  It just dilutes the dollar a little bit more.  IQD, and an RV of the currency, works the same way, just on a global scale. My opinion is that almost every other currency will take a slight hit, and then rebound once the IQD rate stabilizes, and within about a month all currencies will be back to normal… except the IQD will be dramatically different than it was a month prior.

U.S. to arm Syrian Kurds fighting Islamic State, despite Turkey’s ire

(Reuters) Despite fierce opposition from NATO ally Turkey, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved supplying arms to Kurdish YPG fighters to support an operation to retake the Syrian city of Raqqa from Islamic State, U.S. officials said on Tuesday.

One important question involves US plans for its security architecture in the area after IS is defeated as a conventional military force. Should the US continue to maintain a military base in the Kurdistan Region?

Kurdistan24 asked Cole if he would favor such an idea, and the Oklahoma Congressman responded enthusiastically.

“As long as our Kurdish friends support that, and I think they would,” he responded. Cole noted the US had a very positive experience there.

“That’s been an area that we can operate out of stably,” he said, “and frankly, where we’ve got a supportive local population.”

Cole further explained, “The lesson of [IS] is that we left too soon.” We failed to secure our “hard-won victories in Iraq,” he said, “and I hope that we don’t make that mistake again.”

WASHINGTON DC, United States (Kurdistan24) – In interviews with Kurdistan24, two Republican Congressman spoke very highly of the Peshmerga.

The role the Peshmerga have played in fighting the Islamic State (IS) has won the Kurds and their aspirations a very sympathetic hearing in Washington.

Tom Cole, who represents Oklahoma’s 4th Congressional District, and John Carter, from Texas’ 31st District, each expressed their deep appreciation.

“They’ve been tremendous. Best troops on the ground, without a doubt,” Cole stated.

“Most reliable ally from the American standpoint. Most dangerous enemy from [IS’] standpoint,” he added.

Carter spoke similarly. “The Kurds have really been stand-up fighters since day one,” he affirmed. “They’ve certainly proven their worth to the fight.”

Both Congressmen sit on the House Appropriations Committee, and both of their districts include major US Army bases: Ft. Sill in Oklahoma and Ft. Hood, the world’s largest military installation, in Texas.

Thus, these two Congressmen pay particular attention to the conflicts in which the US Army is engaged.

One important question involves US plans for its security architecture in the area after IS is defeated as a conventional military force. Should the US continue to maintain a military base in the Kurdistan Region?
