Tehran, July 12, IRNA – Victory in Fallujah is an important step towards complete cleaning up of Iraq from Daesh (ISIS), visiting Chairman of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq Ammar al-Hakim said on Monday.


He made the remarks in a meeting with the President of the Center for Strategic Research Ali Akbar Velayati.

Al-Hakim voiced hope that the operation for liberation of Mosul would start during this year and within the next four or five months.

Iraq was the only country which could have a strong and fast reaction against Daesh and stroked a heavy blow at them, he added.
