The U.S.-led anti-Daesh coalition plans to launch operations within weeks to isolate the Syrian city of Raqqa as an offensive in Mosul, Iraq, continues, the Pentagon said Monday.
“We all feel it's important to maintain pressure on ISIL at this particular moment in time, while they're feeling the heat in Mosul.” spokesman Peter Cook said using an alternative name for the militant group. “The effort to liberate Raqqah will begin, as the secretary [Defense Secretary Ash Carter] said, within a matter of weeks.”
Responding to a question about a disagreement between Turkey and the U.S. regarding the Raqqah operation, Cook said Ankara and Washington are still working out how to move forward with uprooting Daesh from its self-declared capital in Syria.
