This report is derived from open sources collected and processed at ISW during the reporting period. The report includes analysis on Iraq, Syria, ISIS, Afghanistan, Egypt, and Ukraine.
Key Take-away:
Iran stands to gain from events in Iraq and Syria this week. The battle against ISIS in Tikrit portends increased Iranian influence over Iraq’s security sector. The Iranian-backed Syrian regime may be gaining ground against rebels in Damascus. Russia is using an operational pause to shore up its presence within Ukraine. ISIS, absorbing losses in Iraq, conducted significant attacks in Libya and extended its reach into West Africa. Meanwhile, the Syrian regime may be looking to portray alignment with the U.S.-led coalition’s fight against ISIS.
IRAQ:
Operations to retake Tikrit from ISIS met with early success and are accompanied by supporting operations against ISIS in Kirkuk province. ISIS responded by attacking west of Samarra, a threat stream that will likely persist. The cross-sectarian assault forces attacking Tikrit, including the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), Iranian-advised and funded Iraqi Shi’a militias, and Sunni tribal militias, maintained collaboration during the operation without major violent, sectarian incidents. If Tikrit is effectively cleared, the greater test of sustainable cooperation will come during the hold phase when sectarian activity by security forces and militias and ISIS’s guerilla tactics may create new challenges. Anti-ISIS forces in Iraq must also decide to what degree to conduct operations balancing Iranian leadership and U.S. involvement. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey stated in Congressional testimony, “…anything anyone does to counter ISIL is in the main a good outcome…In other words, the activities of the Iranians [and] the support for the Iraqi security forces is a positive thing in military terms against ISIL.” Unless the Iraqi Security Forces operate in Mosul and Anbar without militia backing, however, any gains they make in these areas will not likely result in lasting outcomes that help to mitigate Sunni popular grievances. PM Abadi’s statement from the frontlines in Tikrit praised Shi’a militias for their role, revealing diminished U.S. leverage to oppose Iranian-backed Shi’a militias and support an inclusive outcome in Iraq’s other Sunni areas.
