Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn predicted Monday that Iran is going to be the real victor in the fight to take back Mosul from the ISIS terrorist group.

According to a report by Washington Examiner, as covered by Fars, Flynn told Fox News that �we have to work with the Arab nations as much as we�re working with NATO and Iraq, and I will tell you at the end of the day, the big victor here in Mosul is likely Iran.�

He went on to say that the Iran-backed Shias are going to be the big winners here. [�]

Elsewhere in his remarks, he said the US presidential candidate Donald Trump understands radical Islamic �infiltration� in the US and that means �we�re going to continue to see the rise of our own problems right here in the homeland.�

�The problem we�re facing is not going to be solved in the attack into Mosul over the next couple of days. We have to deal with this ideology for a long time and until we come to grips with it, I mean we�re going to be facing it,� he said.

�It�s beyond San Bernardino, Orlando, New York, Minneapolis, wherever, wherever this problem exists, and it exists here at home,� he added.

He made the remarks after the Iraqi government announced it was launching the long-awaited initiative to regain Iraq�s last ISIS stronghold.
