They're consolidating their strike power in Iraq just like ISIS did before they started their mission. Iraq is the new/old battlefield. There'll be much tears there in upcoming months, years.


Difference is that when ISIS was starting it had support of minority. Now "the resistance" will hold vast majority of population and supported by Iran. And the main mission won't be establishment of caliphat but expulsion of US army.

Wars will continue, if there will ever be peace in middle east, it will come to Iraq last. Or put it other way, there needs to be peace in Iraq for region to get quiet.
