The Iraqi army together with volunteers knocks out ISIS militants from Tikrit - the hometown of Saddam Hussein

The Iraqi army launched a large-scale attack on the militant-controlled city of the so-called "Islamic State" Tikrit city. Tikrit is the city where Saddam Hussein was born. Iraqi media reported that the Iraqi Air Force planes attacked the northern regions of Tikrit, destroying at least 60 ISIS militants.

Iraqi citizens were informed by the authorities that a multistage military operation was beginning against the militants of the “Islamic State” near Tikrit - in 130 km from the capital. In the air of the Iraqi state television channel Al-Iraqiya, it was noted that the military is ready to repel Tikrit from the militants of the terrorist group, for which they are ready to act shoulder to shoulder with the Kurdish volunteer troops.

The attack on Tikrit comes from several directions at once. For the liberation of the city involved about 30 thousands of soldiers and volunteers. From the east, militant positions are shelled from artillery installations. Information Agency TASS reports that the militants began to leave Tikrit in the north-western direction in order to avoid direct confrontation with a large group of Kurds and soldiers of the Iraqi army, whose government declares its readiness to finally defeat ISIS.

The initiative of official Baghdad found support from representatives of a number of states in the Middle East. They supported the actions of the Iraqi government in Russia, also in the EU and Southeast Asia. The operation was approved in Iran. Only the official authorities of the United States and Britain have yet to comment on the success of the Iraqi army in Tikrit. Strange, especially when you consider that the US State Department has time to comment on almost any event in the world just a few minutes after this event happened ...

Comments

[Motherland Russia]

Well done.
Fight against terrorism for any worthy of respect.
Not to mention the liberation of their country from evil.
If only smaller victims ...

Take for example the Donbass, how many peaceful people are dying.
It’s wrong, politics is politics, but ...
So that the jackals of Ukraine responded in full. To feel on yourself all the sorrow and misfortune that brought civilians.

[Vend]

They crush the American fosterlings. USA in a panic, threat number 1 will be defeated. All that is gained by overwork will still perish

[Motherland Russia]

Naturally - the United States invests its money in black deeds, and then such disappointment ...

...... Nothing strange ..... Given that any event of this nature stick out their star-striped ears ...

[asadov]

Yes, and again you have to come up with something. And most importantly, spend money.

[Zambras]

Well, money can be spent on this out of your pocket too. I already wrote that if we saw the whole scheme and the relationship of capital flows ... But who will provide it to us.

[subbtin.725]

Only official authorities in the US and Britain have not yet commented

How, after all, they’ll beat them up.., see the Anglo-Saxons are looking for ways to help ISIS, Paskuda.

[Lynx]

+1000 more creatures of peacekeepers will be invited to introduce

[dobrjak]

Keep it up! The main thing is not to stop there.

[Zambras]

Why did Ishil do that to you personally? The reason is not in him. And in general, I no longer believe in any fighters for the idea ... As they say, "Business and nothing personal" It's just that the carve-up has reached a higher level. The same Turkey does not refuse their oil ... But people ... They cost almost nothing for puppeteers in their accounting department. And one more thing .. Appreciate people for their attention. We have so many things in Russia for its application. with her with Libya and Iraq, and to be honest, Ukraine is also tired of it, I'd better go clean the AK :-)

[Kostyar]

Soak these subhumans, suckling up America, nothing holy in any of them !!!

[Giant thought]

We wish good luck to the Iraqi forces in this operation and in the future to achieve a complete victory over the IS.

[sever.56]

All this for a long time. The states and the West no longer know how to get out of this situation. The Kurds are already being armed, but so far there is little sense. They themselves have been shitting, arming extremists, but ordinary people are dying!

And the British also dropped their weapons and the two igloos lost, as stated by the Iraqi military. They just want to get out - they want to wreak havoc for decades, just like the United States did in Afghanistan. after all, they were brought up by the Taliban.

[Sergey Sitnikov]

ISIS will finish off and let the US attack)), that would be news!

[Motherland Russia]

Don’t say:
And the enemy is not in Iraq.
And send so many people to death.
And the United States, only it will be on hand, they will take it with great pleasure as manna from heaven.

[tootsy]

And why should the Americans comment on something? They prefer to hush up their actions. If anything happens in the world and the State Department. is silent. Definitely there the first violin is played by the Americans themselves and this is illegal.

[rotmistr60]

Only official authorities in the United States and Britain have not yet commented on the successful operations of the Iraqi army in Tikrit.

The Anglo-Saxons are not at hand when they begin to beat those on whom they had once placed their hopes. But, I think that the media will approve this operation.

[Motherland Russia]

Still, this is "Evil" itself in human form - when someone feels good, it makes them feel bad.
Shameful creatures.

[Patriot 1]

"Poor McCain")) ... blow below the belt for grandpa

[Lyton]

Americans cubature that blurt out without losing face, the winners should be only they.

[Mixalich]

The offensive is good, right, necessary. That would be to cut the financing, the source of evil.

[spartak2014]

The United States is silent. Because everything is not going according to their scenario ..

[_Alexei_]

Well done Iraqis drive this evil to their masters

[navara399]

Here is the result of rotten politics, Iraqis clean up the acts of mattresses. Tragicomedy, damn it ...

[starshina pv]

The Iraqis are not cheating on Kalashnikov!

[vex]

To expel and make the country a zone free of any preachers of the caliphates (as well as imams, emirates, sultanates, kaganates and emirates).

[Boos]

I respect your non-tolerant opinion! But Islamization is in the "trend" in Geyropi, what can you want from Asia? I hate any of the Semitic religions. And there are no others, and everything else is Vera!

[individual]

The United States systematically creates terrorist organizations, so that later to destroy them heroically with the whole world.

[kelevra]

Good luck to the Iraqis with this plague!

[Alexey RA]

Hmm ... the Iraqi government army, together with the Peshmerga and the IRGC, is liberating Saddam Hussein’s hometown from the Islamists.
About 10 years ago (and even 5) it would have seemed unscientific fiction, and the author would have been amused at military-historical forums.

PS IRGC is not mentioned in the article - but guardians in Iraq, they are fighting on the side of officials from the very beginning of the mess with ISIS.

[donavi49]

Iraqi army? Exactly? General Suleymani, with the IRGC troops, Iranian pilots, Shiite militias, ISOF troops and artillery (including the new D-20 purchased less than a month ago in Bulgaria) have already fixed themselves on the outskirts and cut off Tikrit from the roads. However, it’s not a boiler yet, you can run away from gardens. But local igishat already howl about betrayal - the northern igishat that abandoned them.

But do not kindle. These are all exclusively volunteers helping the Iraqi army.

Ahem ... I’ve heard something like that somewhere before. The following statements will probably be that they didn’t really need Tikrit ... and in general it was subsidized.

[Pate]

It’s one thing to break physically, another thing to defeat psychologically at the religious level, and the Iraqi authorities still need to raise the standard of living of their citizens at least a little.

[Aleksander]

It's strange, especially when you consider that the US State Department manages to comment on almost any event in the world literally a few minutes afterhow this event happened ...

Or in a few minutes BEFORE THAT ...
