The Iraqi Army, the Counter Terrorism units, the Federal police, and Anbar
tribes entered the city of Ramadi that was occupied by the self-proclaimed
"Islamic State" group (ISIS) for several months. To their biggest surprise,
only a few bodies of the terrorist group were found when intelligence
gathering by the U.S led coalition and the Iraqi intelligence service
confirmed the presence of around 2000 fighters in the city until days before
the final assault. Six ISIS fighters were arrested while trying to flee
Ramadi among the 442 civilians who left the city one day before the final
assault on the city center.

 

The same phenomena of "ISIS evaporation" was registered in Sinjar when 7500
Kurds, supported by the U.S Air Force, occupied the key northern Iraqi city,
finding a very small number of ISIS fighters in it.

 

So where did all these ISIS fighters go to?

 

A high-ranking source within the Iraqi government told me:

 

"The US forces operating in Iraq within the military operation room in
Baghdad are the ones who define the units and the time (day and hour) of
attacks against ISIS. If we want to benefit from an Air Force to defeat the
terrorist group, we should bow to the American command. It is not unlikely
for a possible American - Turkish coordination to communicate with "ISIS"
and give a free way out to fighters to withdraw in the direction of the
Syrian - Iraqi borders. That's the information our drones collected in the
last few days prior the attack of Ramadi.

 

Our signals and Human Intelligence informed the Americans and us about ISIS
movement of troops. We were not allowed to engage against these and no one
in the government can contradict the Americans for the moment. The U.S
ordered Baghdad to keep al-Hashd al-Sha'bi (PMUs) away from the battlefield
of Anbar perhaps to ensure a free passage to ISIS and to reduce the Iranian
influence and credit of victories in Iraq".

 

"America has asked decision makers in Baghdad to change the heads of
anti-terrorism, intelligence and security services of the army and Interior
Ministry. Moreover, the Secretary General of the Council of Minister was
also  suggested by the Americans and in consequences he has been appointed
to this position. The U.S wants a homogeneous team that is friendly to its
policy and presence of these (US forces) on the ground in Iraq.

 

The hostile Era - created by the former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki that
led to a withdrawal of the forces from Mesopotamia - is over and the policy
adopted at the moment consists of reducing the influence of the Iranian
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani over a few
Iraqi armed groups. What is contributing to the success of such a policy is
the fact that the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is in a bad terms with
Soleimani. Since the start, PM Abadi believed that Soleimani was planning to
remove him from power, supporting al-Maliki and promoting other choices to
replace the actual Premier", said the source.

 

 

 

 

The source concluded:

 

"Iran controls various military organisations fighting within the Popular
Mobilisation Units that are strongly present in the battlefield in Iraq and
in Syria. Such an influence persuaded al-Abadi to choose the path that leads
to " Uncle Sam " instead of choosing the one of Welayat-el- faqih. This is
why Abadi rejected, following an explicit American demand, to reject any
Russia military assistance in the air, in Iraq, unlike the Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad. The Iraqi Prime Minister is aware of the possibility that
the U.S would like to see 3 Iraqi cantons, one for the Kurds, one for the
Sunni and another one for the Shia. The Americans are also supporting the
Turkish presence in Iraq, and met with the Director of the French
Intelligence Service who said: The Middle East will never be the same as
before. What is becoming more clear now that ISIS is a toy used by players
for their agenda and plans to reshuffle the map of the Middle East".
