Iraq says u s will send troops mosul battle
According to recent reports, the Iraqi government has announced that the United States will send additional troops to support the upcoming battle to retake the city of Mosul from the Islamic State (ISIS).
Here are some key points from the reports:
- The Iraqi government has requested additional military support from the US to help retake Mosul, which has been under ISIS control since 2014.
- The US has agreed to send additional troops to Iraq to support the operation, although the exact number of troops has not been disclosed.
- The troops will likely be used to provide air support, artillery fire, and special operations forces to help Iraqi ground troops retake the city.
- The battle to retake Mosul is expected to be one of the most challenging and complex military operations in the region, with ISIS fighters expected to put up fierce resistance.
- The US has already been providing military support to the Iraqi government in the form of airstrikes, training, and equipment, but the additional troops will provide a significant boost to the Iraqi military's capabilities.
It's worth noting that the US has been involved in the conflict in Iraq for several years, and has been providing military support to the Iraqi government since 2014. However, the decision to send additional troops to support the battle to retake Mosul is seen as a significant escalation of the US involvement in the conflict.
What are your thoughts on this development? Do you think the US should be involved in the conflict in Iraq, or should the Iraqi government be left to handle the situation on its own?
