Iraqi police say ready to join assault on east mosul

According to reports, the Iraqi police have announced that they are ready to join the assault on eastern Mosul, which is currently being held by the Islamic State (ISIS) militants.

The Iraqi police, who are part of the country's security forces, have been training and preparing for this operation for several weeks. They have been equipped with advanced weapons and equipment, and have been working closely with the Iraqi army and other security forces to plan and execute the assault.

The goal of the operation is to retake control of eastern Mosul, which has been under ISIS control since 2014. The city is a strategic location, and its capture would be a significant blow to ISIS's ability to operate in the region.

The Iraqi police have been involved in several battles against ISIS in recent months, and have suffered significant losses. However, they have also made significant gains, and have been able to retake control of several key cities and towns.

The assault on eastern Mosul is expected to be a difficult and bloody battle, and the Iraqi police and other security forces are preparing for a long and intense fight.
