All of a sudden putting iraq in the middle. Seems like one way to justify a major failure. They could have came from Qatar, or somewhere from the water in the gulf or anywhere else. Either way your way of thinking has failed and keeps failing. What makes you think that what your saying is a...

UAE Made an agreement with the Ansarallah via Iran, Qatar is exposing KSA through media and now Saudi Arabia is stuck in the Yemen quagmire alone. There is no winning this war. KSA is better off using this money on creating peace and rebuilding Yemen. The balance of power is not what it was...

Industrial scale farming has emerged in Karbala with plans to plant over 400,000 trees in the next few years as well as increase agricultural land. Initial stages include building nurseries and banks for high quality palm trees and other trees which will eventually be used to expand further...

Unfortunate, but it’s the bitter truth. We’re hoping for some sort of drastic change within the government to root out corruption. But so far it doesn’t look very promising. Bad news aside. There are some strategic project on the go. Perhaps one of the most strategic is the Grand Fao port...

I made this thread but haven’t posted in a few years now. Just felt like I should post to keep this thread alive and also give an insight about the current developments in Iraq to those who are still following. After the military defeat of IS with great efforts and the blood of the Iraqi...

Iraqi forces have liberated Rawah in Anbar province. The last city held by DAISH. There are remaining pockets in the uninhabited desert between iraq and Syria North of the Euphrates river. There are also some DAISH hideouts around Hawijah which need to be dealt with. They are the only known...

the Saudi- Iran conflicts have already destroyed enough countries. They both and especially Saudi Arabia needs to cut the crap. We all know they'll never have a direct war in the foreseeable future for obvious reasons. Iran's missile capabilities are destructive while Saudi airpower is superior...

There's no need for guessing which places Iraqi forces is going to enter. Federal troops are getting back to the pre-2003 border as well as some additional areas further than the 2003 border. Abadi spoke about a corridor and repairing oil pipelines to Turkey going through Mosul a couple weeks...

Abadi has decided to pay all northern Iraq's employees directly and not through the KRG. Many Kurdish politicians are switching sides to be on the winning side. Meanwhile barzanis lot is nowhere to be seen except on Facebook and Twitter.

The real battle has started. Fighting is now house to house and street to street with civilians present. IS has forced the people to park there vehicles on the roads as to be used as obstacle. This is going to be a slow and intense battle. Set backs and losses will occur here and there. But...

Many unreported battles in west Mosul in the past couple months. IS has been launching large scale ops in hopes to breach the PMF lines and creating an a scape route to syria. Over a dozen ops have been launched in a desperate attempted only to fail every time. There is no way out for...

250 vehicles in total, not tanks. They loose twice the number of casualties but don't release it for public. Either way the number of IS members killed since Dec 2013 has exceeded 80,000 in Iraq alone. And no they're not 400 members that took over Mosul.

Very unfortunate. A truck bomb has detonated, immobilizing several armored vehicles. Casualties are low but forces pulled out leaving the vehicles behind. Either way this is war. IS can boast about it. But the truth is iraqi forces are always ten steps ahead of IS. IS takes back one area...

Southern front. Federal police have only two villagws to clear before reaching the southern outskirts of Mosul (Mosul airport). PMF continue ops to clear villages west of Tel Afar And the strategic town of Tel Abtah south of the airport. Iraqi forces clear more neighbourhoods inside mosul.

PMF tel Afar ops phase 5 is now underway. Goal is to seperate Tel Afar from Mosul. Parliament has passed the PMF law in the parliament. Some important points. -PMF fighters get the same rights as other military personal - PMF fighters are held responsible under military courts for any...

Mosul and Tel afar are now totally besieged after the PMF broke IS defence and reached the Kurdish controlled territories. All routes to syria are now completely cut off. IS is collapsing at an unpresedented rate. Tel Afar is now surrounded from three fronts. So far the battle is...

PMF have started phase 4 of the Tel Afar ops. Aim is to reach Sinjar and seal the gap towards the Syrian border. This will create a full 360 degree siege against IS in Nineveh. So far 4 villages liberated, two more to are on the verge of being stormed. 4 IS VBIED's destroyed. Iraqi...

PMF forces are within fire range of Tel Afar. Engineering team have started building trenches to isolate the city and prevent IS escape/ attacks.

Any intervention inside Syria probably won't be until the summer of 2017 and it will most likely be exclusive against IS Still plenty of battles to be fought. Tel afar, Mosul, Hawaijah and surrounding. Rawah Anah and Qaem in western Anbar... Close to 5 months at least.

__________ I guess the PMF didn't need need till the morning to liberate the Tel Afar air base. It has been declared liberated few minutes ago. The PMF forces took over a few villages along the road to the air base. They have stopped three villages from and took a turn to surrounded the...
