The success of military operations in Mosul is evidence of the determination of Iraqi forces to liberate the country through intensive urban military campaigns, according to the magazine Foreign Policy.

While US President Donald Trump welcomed Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abbadi at the White House, both sides encouraged military forces to participate in the battlefield, but given the challenges ahead, not the current Trump's administration sees as the easy part.

The Trump administration will face new obstacles in the process of liberating Mosul, which is to maintain stability and security within the province, as well as political changes that Iraq may face outside the battlefield as the parliamentary and regional elections approach the fate of US troops at home.

"Trump inherited America's portfolio in Iraq in a relatively strong position, characterized by the military momentum and unprecedented cooperation between the Iraqi army, the Kurdish peshmerga, and local Sunni forces. As the ongoing military progress has shown, Trump's criticism of the president's campaign Obama in Mosul was largely fake.

She noted that 'Trump' if he continued to avoid the advice of his advisers will hinder the success of the elimination of an advocate, but it is possible to lose the battle.
