Iraqi troops will begin a “major ground offensive” in coming weeks to regain control of territories captured by the Islamic State group, General John Allen, the U.S. coordinator for the anti-ISIS coalition, said, in an interview to Jordan’s Petra news agency on Sunday.
“In the weeks ahead, when the Iraqi forces begin the ground campaign to take back Iraq, the coalition will provide major firepower associated with that,” Allen reportedly said, adding that the U.S. is “doing all it can” to aid the Iraqi army.
