"Good morning, everyone, or good day from Baghdad," McFarlane said, in a special online briefing, in response to questions from participating journalists. Ensuring the enduring defeat of ISIS, as well as the outcome of the Mutual Security Cooperation Dialogue in which I participated last week in Washington, DC
He added, "The Joint Security Cooperation Dialogue has reaffirmed our commitment as a partner in bilateral security cooperation with[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And our common interests in the field of regional security, as this dialogue constituted a historic event and a central station in the path of security cooperation relations between the American and Iraqi governments.” And between
MacFarlane: “From the military point of view, the attendees emphasized the presence of American forces in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Within a non-combat role and at the invitation of the Iraqi government, in order to provide advice, assistance and empowerment of the Iraqi security forces during their battle against the organization[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
The commander of Operation Inherent Resolve affirmed that "the Iraqi forces have made tremendous progress in the last few years on the path of achieving the permanent defeat of ISIS. "[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], and it continues to make efforts to prevent the group's resurgence. The organization's defeat has been achieved militarily, but we know full well that its dangerous ideology still poses a threat and the organization still aspires to restore some kind of military capability, so we continue to work with our partner forces within the framework of our common mission to ensure defeat.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]standing.
He pointed out, "There are many regional challenges, such as the urgent need to deal with the displaced and detainees from[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Those in the Northeast[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Currently, returning them to their countries of origin and supporting efforts to reintegrate them into their local communities.”
He added, “We will also launch a process separate from the joint security cooperation dialogue that includes the International Coalition to Defeat[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], with the purpose of determining how the coalition’s military mission evolves depending on factors and circumstances, such as threat levels, the operational environment, and partner force levels. “The successful
completion of the Joint Security Cooperation Dialogue underscores our two countries’ commitment to our partnership across the full range of issues to advance our shared interests in the field of Regional stability and continued security cooperation.”
During the briefing, the commander of Operation Inherent Resolve proceeded to answer the questions put to him by Arab journalists.
“Do you think that military operations alone are the solution to these circumstances?”
Gen. McFarlane: Military operations are the key to defeat[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]We are focusing our efforts on the military security aspect as part of Operation Inherent Resolve[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/3059115580/%D9%82%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%A9 %D9%82%D9%88%D8%A9 %D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%87%D8%A7%D9%85 %D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%AA%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A9/ar/]Joint Task Force Command[/url]. Operation Inherent Resolve's mission is to advise, assist and empower our partner forces, and our work with the Iraqi Security Forces is centered on supporting them and providing security within their own country. Other organizations provide assistance in other areas such as humanitarian aid for the displaced, and all of these organizations contribute to improving the general situation in the region and mitigating the possibility of the resurgence of extremist ideologies.
What is the extent of US-Iraqi security cooperation amid Iranian influence in Iraq?
GM McFarlane: There is no doubt that we are focused - the coalition and I are focused on defeating an organization[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Our security cooperation with the Iraqi Security Forces and our provision of counterterrorism equipment and financing is focused on achieving the enduring defeat of[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. We will not let the other nefarious actors in the region distract us from our sole mission of defeating it[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]or distract us from it. Fully aware that there are still other threats in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]You want to hurt us and we are proactive in protecting our forces to ensure we stay focused on this mission and ultimately get it done.
"Is the task of getting rid of ISIS finished? Can you explain your answer, whether yes or no?"
Gen. MacFarlane: Thank you very much for that question. Be sure to organize[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]It no longer controls any territory and incurred heavy losses among its commanders and fighters, and we continue to witness a decrease in the number of attacks launched by the organization year after year, as these operations decreased by 65 percent or more compared to last year. Last Ramadan was the most peaceful month in modern history, according to our Iraqi colleagues. So the group continues to decline, not only in terms of its attack record, but also in all the quantifiable categories that I know about, starting with financing and military capacity and all the numbers we track on the group.
But there are still extremist fighters who aspire to re-emerge or rebuild the caliphate. We are working closely with our Iraqi counterparts and sharing intelligence to ensure we address any potential resurgence or threats from remnant fighters, and we are also working on long-term efforts, such as dealing with displaced persons and detainees from[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Those in detention facilities[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]and return them to their countries of origin.
The common vision for maintaining peace and stability in the region, and the nature of the common vision between[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/45068/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AA %D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AF%D8%A9 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%85%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A9/ar/]United States of America[/url]Saudi Arabia and other allies in this part of the world.
Gen. McFarlane: There is no doubt that I am focused on peace and stability in the region in terms of our efforts and our support for the Iraqi security forces and the Iraqi government.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Mrs. I believe that we contribute to regional peace and stability in terms of building the capabilities of our partner forces to ensure that there is no return[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]To appear as a threat, not in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Not only, but also in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]We have seen what the organization can do there in view of what it has achieved in the past decade, and the international community has been forced to[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]To make tremendous efforts to recover the lands of the Caliphate and make progress to reach this point today.
And the attacks are down 65 percent, as I mentioned earlier, compared to last year, and that gives you an idea of the continued progress year on year.
Reports indicated that[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]intend to conduct military operations west[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/862573867/%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%8A %D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA/ar/]Euphrates Valley[/url]in Deir Ezzor. How accurate are these reports? And how do you intend to deal with the repeated air confrontations with Russian aircraft in Syria?”
* General MacFarlane: So to answer the first part of the question, the international coalition continues to support our partners in the battle against[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]ie forces[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Democracy leading the fight.
With regard to the Russians, we certainly do not welcome their unsafe and unprofessional actions that endanger our forces and their forces.
We keep full focus on organizing[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And defeat it, and sometimes it seems to us that the other actors focus more on us than on the terrorists who actually launched more attacks in the areas not controlled by the coalition. So we focus on the areas controlled by the coalition, stability and security in these areas, and we support our partners as they continue to make efforts to ensure that the organization does not resurge.
Are the coalition forces preparing for a military operation to cut off the Iranian forces in eastern Syria? What do you think of operations?[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The last in the area under the control of the regime in the vicinity of Deir Ezzor?
* General MacFarlane: The coalition does not prepare any military operations to block the road to any other side[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. We continue to focus on[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]and the instability that a handful of fighters could cause if they regain control or rebuild their numbers to pose a greater threat. It was L.'s last major military operation[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]In January 2022, the Ghweran prison, and the organization has not been able to launch any similar operation since then, and I think that this is a stark evidence of the effectiveness of all partners, including the forces of[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]democracy in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
If we focus on[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]We have received reports of larger attacks by the organization[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]One of them was south of Damascus and another south of the Euphrates River in Deir Ezzor, in which a bus carrying soldiers in the Syrian army was targeted. We haven't seen any similar major operations in coalition-controlled areas, so it's very worrying to witness these larger attacks over the past month. We are watching this closely and hope that the regime and other parties will be able to confront the organization[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]in the areas under their control.
“Given strength and cooperation with[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]to combat a threat[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Obviously, the terrorist organization has re-emerged in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]and other regions. Are abilities[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Security enough to deter this organization? And when can this threat be considered to have been effectively neutralized?[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And the region?”
Gen. McFarlane: Yeah, thanks for that question. I certainly appreciate how you describe the partnership we have with the Iraqi Security Forces. It's a strong partnership with a great deal of cooperation as we work with them to enable and develop their capabilities so they can counter the threat.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]finally independently. They've made a lot of progress as I mentioned before as they build their capabilities, like in intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance for example, and we've seen them conduct independent operations over the last year using only Iraqi capabilities to identify threats[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]treatment and elimination.
We will continue to support our Iraqi partners by providing advice, assistance, empowerment, and assistance in developing these capabilities. We work closely with them and have identified areas of focus and areas to ensure they are able to independently deliver operations over time.
Question: The Iraqi Prime Minister announced recently, or rather on Monday, that the country does not need any foreign fighting forces and that the relationship between the two countries will be negotiated.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]and coalition forces. At the same time, the Iraqi authorities threatened to attack the coalition forces if they did not leave[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Will there be any change in the presence of the coalition forces in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]What is the coalition's response to these threats?
Gen. McFarlane: We are here at the invitation of the Iraqi government and I often describe our role as a non-combatant role for my soldiers, coalition soldiers, our partners and anyone who visits us. We spend our time advising and assisting in providing the required equipment to the Iraqi Security Forces and ensuring that they are able to take on combat roles, and they are doing very well at that and continue to make progress in terms of demonstrating the combat requirements to ensure the enduring defeat of[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
However, there are other parties that make explicit threats to attack coalition bases through social media, and we are aware of them. Some of our forces and advisors are watching these threats closely and are ready to respond, and the Iraqi Security Forces are ensuring our protection as well. So we monitor social media very closely and we also monitor the intelligence that we receive from the Iraqis and the various countries in the coalition to ensure that we are informed and that we take the necessary measures to protect the members of the coalition who are here and the Iraqi security forces if they are threatened.
So there is a solid partnership and we work closely together, but we are here in a different non-combat role – we are in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Within a combat role, but our focus is on[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Our partners must continue to develop their capabilities in preparation for the long-term fight against ISIS[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
The question: “Will the coalition dismantle al-Hol camp, and what will be the fate of its residents?”
* Answer: Yes, there is no doubt that al-Hol camp constitutes a source of security concern over time, and if we examine the prevailing conditions in this camp, we would find that it may contribute to extremist ideology. The US State Department works with its counterparts in other countries and focuses on reducing the number of residents there in order to improve conditions, so we support the State Department in this effort and help facilitate the return of the displaced from this camp to their countries and regions of origin and help the forces[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Democracy to ensure the security of the camp.
So we've seen steady progress when helping to train to guard Al Hol, and we've also seen a decrease in the number of violent attacks. No murders occurred this year compared to previous years when there were more than 10 murders. So we are witnessing progress and the population has decreased from 53,000 to 48,000 this year, and the numbers have decreased because many of the partner countries have returned their citizens, including the Iraqi government. If we consider that addressing the conditions prevailing in this camp represents an important part of defeat[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]In the long term, in order to ensure the provision of humanitarian aid and an atmosphere that allows its residents to obtain the required assistance.
General McFarlane continues, "This briefing is important, and I believe your role is to help me reach your readers with the necessary journalistic information to ensure everyone understands what Operation Inherent Resolve's role is in[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/3059115580/%D9%82%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%A9 %D9%82%D9%88%D8%A9 %D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%87%D8%A7%D9%85 %D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%AA%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A9/ar/]Joint Task Force Command[/url]in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]With our Iraqi partners[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]All partners and this coalition are focused on ensuring the enduring defeat of ISIS[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
He points out, "The historic joint security cooperation dialogue in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Last week reaffirmed the United States' commitment[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Working together to ensure the permanent defeat of the organization[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And to continue the partnership as we work together for regional stability and security, as the Iraqi security forces are making remarkable progress, but the threat of the American forces and the coalition forces still exists, and the progress and stability that we are witnessing may be fragile if we see what aspires[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]To be achieved, which was unveiled in different areas of[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Last month. I've incurred organizing[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]military defeat and he no longer controls any territory, but we should not sleep soundly, his evil ideology still exists and re-emergence remains a possibility.”
And the general stated, “The progress that we are making here with our partners and with the Iraqi security forces This battle in Iraq is an example of what we are trying to achieve in Syria, and we continue to see the results of this campaign in the data, through the decrease in the number of attacks and their effectiveness year after year. So we hope that We guarantee the permanent defeat of ISIS, and I believe that we developed during the dialogue last week a plan to develop the coalition and what it is doing and what it is working on with the Iraqis based on the progress made and the factors that I talked about a little while ago.
