Curious Alliances Taking Place Amid Mosul Operation | New Eastern Outlook
As
it always happens, a major military offensive in a country where
multiple interests collide and converge, alliances take place. Some new
are formed and some old suffer a set-back. Iraqi army’s operation in
Mosul, the erstwhile capital of the Islamic State in Iraq, has produced
the same kind of impact. As such, whereas it has widened the gulf
between the US and Turkey (read: the US has quietly opposed Turkey’s
military intervention in Iraq), it has equally bridged, to an extent,
the gap between the US and Iran.
