Iraqi forces report recapturing city in western Anbar

http://www.longwarjournal.org/archi...-report-recapturing-city-in-western-anbar.php

The Iraqi military has claimed that it, along with “tribal forces,” have recaptured the western city of Rutbah. Rutbah sits within the desert and has long been an Islamic State stronghold.

After officially launching the operation yesterday, the military has reported its forces have entered the city and “liberated the city’s northern entrance.” Reuters has also reported that the military was able to penetrate the city from the south and take control of a district. The wire news service also quoteed an Iraqi military official as saying, “We expect we will be able to reach the center of Rutbah tomorrow morning.” The official says that the military “faced little resistance” in the town, but the Islamic State has claimed otherwise.

The Islamic State, via its Amaq News Agency, claims to have utilized two suicide bombers in recent days on Iraqi troops near Rutbah.

The Iraqi military said that Sunni tribal fighters have assisted in the effort to recapture the town. According to Ahl al Bayt News Agency, a Shia news site, the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU’s) are also involved. However, as of publishing, it is unclear if the PMU forces taking part are Sunni units or the larger Shia militias which dominate the force.

In the last four days, the US has launched at least six airstrikes against Islamic State positions in or near Rutbah. On May 14, US CENTCOM reported that “four strikes struck an ISIL [an acronym for the Islamic State] tactical unit, an ISIL headquarters, an ISIL vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED or suicide car bomb) facility, and an ISIL staging facility.” In the last two days, two airstrikes hit 10 fighting positions and another VBIED.

Rutbah is an important staging location for the Islamic State, as it allows the jihadist group to support operations throughout Anbar province. This includes operations towards the important centers of Ramadi and Fallujah and even the Al Waleed border crossing with Syria and the Trebil border crossing with Jordan. The jihadist group also maintained the “Sheikh Abu Ibrahim” training camp in Rutbah, which was popularized by the now infamous photo of Islamic State commander Abu Wahib.

Abu Wahib, who was the leader of the Islamic State’s forces in Rutbah and the wider Anbar province, was recently killed in a US airstrike. Abu Wahib, whose full name is Shakir Wahib al Fahdawi al Dulaimi, waged jihad in Iraq for more than a decade. He was detained by US forces in Ramadi in 2006 during the height of al Qaeda in Iraq’s insurgency. Wahib was sentenced to death and transferred to Tikrit Central Prison. In November 2012, he escaped along with 110 inmates after the Islamic State of Iraq assaulted the prison. By 2013, Abu Wahib emerged as the Islamic State in Iraq’s military commander for Anbar province. [See LWJ report, US kills Islamic State’s military emir for Anbar province.]

Sadr’s ‘Peace Brigades’ prepares for Mosul offensive

Sadr-Peace-Bridages-parade-Mosul-9-1024x682.jpg


Muqtada al Sadr, the radical Shia cleric who battled US forces during the Iraqi occupation, is preparing his militia to participate in an offensive to retake the northern city of Mosul from the Islamic State. The US military is preparing to aid the Iraqi government in liberating Mosul, but has insisted that the operation will not include the Shia militias.

Two recent statements on the website of Saraya al Salam, or the Peace Brigades, Sadr’s official militia, said that “preparations are underway” to participate in the fight to wrest Mosul from the grip of the Islamic State. Mosul, the Islamic State’s de facto capital in Iraq, fell to the jihadist organization along with much of northern, central, and western Iraq after the Iraqi military was routed in June 2014.

In one statement, Haj Abu al-Issawi, an “aide to jihadist leader Mr. Muqtada al Sadr,” said that the militia has been told to “get ready for the battle of Mosul,” and that “preparations are underway,” according to a translation by The Long War Journal. The leadership of Saraya al Salam is reviewing and evaluating the militia’s “intervention, engineering, and support forces” that would take part in an operation to liberate Mosul.

In a second statement, Saraya al Salam said that its “Third Division” held a parade in Najaf and is ready “to participate in the liberation of Mosul.” The division commander and “a number of leaders and Associate Director of the Martyr al-Sadr’s office” were in attendance.

A number of photos from the parade in Najaf were displayed in both statements. Saraya al Salam’s banner is prominent in many of the photographs, which include snipers and fighters mounted on trucks.

The participation of the Shia militias in Iraqi military operations feeds the Islamic State’s propaganda and aids its recruiting. The Islamic State tells Sunnis that the Iraqi government is a pawn of the Iranians. The presence of organized Iranian-backed Shia militias in military operations in Sunni areas supports the Islamic State’s narrative.

Saraya al Salam reports to the Popular Mobilization Force (PMF, also known as the Popular Mobilization Unit or Committee), which was created in June 2014 after the Islamic State overran large areas of Iraq. The unit was established with the approval of the Iraqi government, and is comprised of various militias. The paramilitary organization is dominated by Iranian-backed Shiite militias such as Hezbollah Brigades, Asaib al Haq (League of the Righteous), Harakat Nujaba (Movement of the Noble), Saraya Khorasani (Khorasan Brigades), the Imam Ali Brigades, and the Badr Organization.

All of these groups remain hostile towards the US. Many of these groups are led by men who are listed by the US as global terrorists, and one, Hezbollah Brigades, is a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Two of the groups, Harakat Nujaba and Saraya al Salam, have threatened to attack US interests within the past year. One of the militia leaders even said he would overthrow Iraqi’s government if ordered to do so by Iran’s “supreme leader.”

The deputy commander and operational leader of the PMF is Abu Mahdi al Muhandis, a former officer in the Badr Organization who was listed by the US government as a specially designated global terrorist in July 2009 and was described as “an advisor to” Qods Force commander Qassem Soleimani. Qods Force is Iran’s external special operations branch that is, among other things, responsible for establishing, training, funding, advising, and at times, commanding Shiite militias in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.

The PMF has been instrumental in liberating the Iraqi cities of Tikrit and Baiji as well as other towns from the Islamic State. Soleimani, the Qods Force commander, was directly involved in those operations and has been spotted on multiple battlefields in Iraq.

The US military has aided the Iraqi military, and by default the Iranian-backed militias, in retaking Bajii, Tikrit, and other cities and towns with airstrikes and other combat support. US military commanders have denied that “extremist elements” have participated in the operations, instead claiming that the PMF, which it considers to be moderate, is supported by the Iraqi government and thus a moderate force inside Iraq. But the makeup of the PMF suggests otherwise.

Video shows Hezbollah Brigades convoy heading for Fallujah

http://www.longwarjournal.org/archi...llah-brigades-convoy-heading-for-fallujah.php


A YouTube account linked to Kata’ib Hezbollah (KH or Hezbollah Brigades), a US-designated terrorist organization and Iranian proxy, has uploaded a video showing a large convoy of its rocket launcher systems being sent to the front lines near Iraqi city of Fallujah.

The Hezbollah Brigades has been involved in several operations within Anbar province in western Iraq. Last April, a month before the Islamic State took over the provincial capital of Ramadi, KH sent its troops to take part in operations near the city. One video showed Hezbollah Brigade artillery units launching rockets against Islamic State forces in the Sijariyah district in eastern Ramadi. The city fell to the Islamic State last May and was recaptured in late December.

KH fighters have also been involved in operations near the town of Karmah, just east of Baghdad. (See LWJ report, Hezbollah Brigades deploys fighters to Ramadi and Threat Matrix report, Hezbollah Brigades flaunts US equipment in Anbar operation.)

Harakat al Nujaba, another Iranian proxy that operates in both Iraq and Syria, has said it is clearing a road in eastern Anbar province in preparation for an upcoming offensive to retake Fallujah from the Islamic State. The leader of Harakat Nujaba, Akram al Kabi – a US-designated terrorist – said his “special forces” are ready to assist Iraqi forces to recapture the city.

Harakat al Nujaba and other Iranian-backed Shiite militias will likely engage in the fighting for Fallujah, despite US military commanders’ insistence that “extremist elements” have not participated in operations where the US military is providing support. The US routinely conducts airstrikes and supports Iraqi forces operating in the Fallujah corridor. These militias, which operate under the aegis of Iraqi-government supported Popular Mobilization Force and remain hostile to the US, have been involved in multiple offensives that have been supported by the US, including Baiji, Tikrit, Amerli, and Jurf al Shakr. (See LWJ report, Iran-backed militia prepares ‘special forces’ for Fallujah offensive.)

Iranian-backed Iraqi militias signal readiness to enter Fallujah

Soleimani-Muhandis-1024x592.png

Abu Mahdi al Muhandis, the leader of Iranian-backed Iraqi militia Kata’ib Hezbollah (Hezbollah Brigades) and also the umbrella Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), said that the second phase of the Fallujah operation will be launched “within a few hours.”

Muhandis made the statement today in a brief interview to a reporter from the Lebanese-Hezbollah-affiliated media outlet Al Manar. Muhandis claimed the Fallujah operation was proceeding as planned, with forces successfully capturing Karmah, located eight miles from Fallujah, and the strategic bridge of Sejrieh. Iraqi forces announced on May 24 that they had captured Karmah. Fallujah has been under Islamic State control since January 2014, while Karmah since April 2014.

Iranian-backed Iraqi militia Harakat al Nujaba also posted on its official Facebook page photographs of Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Qods Force, inspecting Karmah on May 24. Iranian news outlets reported that Soleimani discussed operational tactics with senior PMF leaders. Soleimani and Muhandis were also photographed inspecting Sejrieh.

In the interview with al Manar today, Muhandis voiced his opposition to US airstrikes in Fallujah, stressing that PMF has not requested nor needed them. Between May 24-26, the US launched 10 airstrikes against the Islamic State insupport of Iraqi military and militia operations in the Fallujah-Habbaniyah corridor, according to the Department of Defense. Targets of the US airstrikes included Islamic State bunkers, tactical units, tunnels, fighting positions, articllery, vehicles, and weapons caches.

Muhandis also claimed that Fallujah tribes support PMFs. Seeking to push back against “some media propaganda,” he said that his forces “fight terrorism and not the residents of the city.” Muhandis said upwards of 20,000 Sunnis are members of PMFs. He then noted that Iraqi Security Forces have started establishing a security barrier 30 kilometers south of Fallujah.

With regards to Iraqi Shia militias entering Fallujah proper, Muhandis said, “We will enter the city if requested.” He continued, “If we feel that our entry is needed in the fight in Fallujah city, we will support security and army forces and will not be restrained to the vicinity of the city.”

Iranian-backed militias have participated in multiple offensives to liberate Iraqi cities from the Islamic State. Despite US official’s denials, the Iranian-supported elements of the PMFs took part in efforts to eject the Islamic State from Tikrit, Baiji, Amerli, and Jurf al Sahkar. The militias often raised their banners in the city center after defeating the Islamic State.

Soleimani and Muhandis have been at the forefront in liberating those cities. After Iraqi military offensives failed, Soleimani and Muhandis organized the militias to play a key role in the fight. These victories have elevated the status of the PMF inside Iraq.

Militia commanders have been open about their goals in Iraq. Hamed al-Jazaeery, the commander of Saraya Khorasani, recently told The Associate Press that he wants the PMF to be “a third power in Iraq.”

“Why can’t the Hashd [PMF] be like the Revolutionary Guard in Iran?” Jazaeery asked.

The spokesman for Harakat al Nujaba recently said that his group and Hezbollah, Iran’s premiere proxy in the Middle East, are “the twins of resistance that cannot ever be loosened or separated.”

Meanwhile, Akram al Kaabi, the leader Harakat al Nujaba, made his allegiances clear. He said that he would overthrow the Iraqi government if ordered to do so by Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

US military uses Apache helicopter gunships for first time against ISIS in Iraq

The U.S. military used Apache helicopter gunships for the first time in the war against ISIS Monday in northern Iraq when one of the U.S. Army helicopters fired a hellfire missile at an ISIS armored vehicle rigged with explosives, a senior defense official told Fox News.

A pair of Apaches were flying together, and one of them took the shot, the official said.

There was no immediate word how many ISIS fighters were killed in the U.S. strike.

The U.S. attack happened near the Iraqi city of Qayyarah, roughly 50 miles south of Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city and an ISIS stronghold where the majority of ISIS fighters reside inside Iraq, according to defense officials.

Qods Force general vows to fight in Iraq and Syria until the last jihadist is killed

A senior advisor to the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps – Qods Force vowed that Iranian forces would continue to fight in Iraq and Syria until the last Islamic State and “takfiri” fighters are killed.

The statement, which was made by Brigadier General Iraj Masjedi, signals the entrenchment of Iranian military assets in Iraq and Syria and the two countries continue to be mired in civil wars. Masjedi serves as a senior advisor to Qods Force commander Qassem Soleimani, who has directed Iran’s intervention in Iraq and Syria and has organized Shia militias to battle the Islamic State, Al Nusrah Front (al Qaeda’s official branch in Syria), and other jihadist and rebel groups.

Masjedi delivered remarks earlier today at the 40-day commemoration of the deaths of the 13 Guardsmen from the IRGC’s 25th Karbala Division who were killed in the Syrian town of Khan Touman, south of Aleppo. The ceremony was held in Sari, Iran.

“Aleppo, Fallujah, and other areas in Syria and Iraq are the front lines of the Islamic resistance, and as the defenders of the shrine, Iranian Guardsmen [IRGC] and Basijis [a paramilitary force loyal to the IRGC] will stay in these fronts until the killing of the last of the takfiris and DAISH [Islamic State],” Masjedi proclaimed.

Iranian forces are engaged in fighting “to defend the borders of our country,” and accused Saudi Arabia and Israel of backing the Islamic State “to conquer Iraq and Syria with the goal of getting close to the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Masjedi said.

He also said that Iranian forces are battling the Islamic State and other jihadists “alongside other brothers from Islamic countries including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Lebanon.” Lebanese Hezbollah has committed significant resources to support the Syrian region, while Shia fighters from Afghanistan andPakistan also are known to fight in both Iraq and Syria.

Masjedi noted that “a united Islamic resistance front,” likely a reference to Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces – which are backed by the government and led by a Qods Force agent – has secured all Shia areas of Iraqi.

“Karbala, Najaf, Kazemein, and Samarra are secure with the presence of Islamic resistance forces,” he continued. Qods Force has helped establish numerous Iraqi militias, many of who are openly loyal to Soleimani and Iran’s supreme leader. Some militia leaders have indicated that they want the Popular Mobilization Forces to serve as the nucleus to an Iraqi analogue of the IRGC.

The “Islamic resistance front” has “completely surrounded” Islamic State forces in Fallujah, according to Masjedi. Iraqi forces are said to have seized Fallujah’s government center today. The government has claimed that the Shia militas will not participate in the battle for Fallujah, however Popular Mobilization Forces units have been spotted in numerous locations around Fallujah.

“The fight against DAISH and takfiris will be long and hard,” Masjedi concluded, preparing his audience for a protracted fight in Iraq and Syria. “This is an urban, irregular, and guerrilla warfare. We must be present in the scene to defend our ideological movement until the killing of the last of the DAISH.”

Iran has benefited from the ongoing chaos and civil wars in Iraq and Syria to increase its military footprint in the countries.
