A report by the American newspaper Responsible Statecraft revealed, on Wednesday, that according to US government monitoring bodies, the so-called American advisors in Iraq have severed their relations with the main military leaders in the country and have diverted resources and attention to issues far from the mission of ISIS, for which they claim to be there.
The report, which was translated by the Maalouma Agency, stated, “The report prepared by inspectors of the US State Department, the Department of Defense, and the US Agency for Development is part of the updates related to the so-called Operation Inherent Resolve linked to the American claims to fight ISIS, as the report also acknowledged that ISIS’s ability to carry out activities “Terrorism has remained severely deteriorated in Iraq and Syria, and the terrorist group is now carrying out fewer attacks near cities.”
He added, “The group’s operations now appear closer to a failed criminal gang than to a powerful terrorist group. According to the report, the campaigns to finance ISIS have made the organization unable to pay the salaries of its fighters on an ongoing basis, and even ISIS leaders receive their wages only “intermittently” from Money being withdrawn from caches of buried money hidden in locations throughout Iraq and Syria.”
The report continued, “The alleged American operations against ISIS have been greatly reduced in Iraq due to the political and operational consequences related to American support for the Israeli occupation entity’s war in Gaza.”
He pointed out that “experts believe that the American military presence in Iraq and Syria is part of America’s endless wars in the Middle East, and has begun to expose American forces to unnecessary risks.”
