Mosul Offensive 'Risks Becoming Even More Bloody Than the Battle for Aleppo

The outlet notes that the head of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), General Joseph Votel has already indirectly confirmed the above plans when he said that there is "the need to avoid the rush and to combine military and political plans for the liberation of Mosul."

"It is easy to guess what is meant by this "military-political combination," the website says.

It further explains that the arrival of fresh Daesh forces into Deir ez-Zor will create more problems for the Syrian government, Russia and Iran in this area of the frontline.

It also suggests that in order to avoid the airstrikes of the Russian aviation, the Daesh militants might use their family members as the human shield and will then accuse Russia of "humanitarian barbarism." Under such a scenario, this operation might be even more of a blood bath than the fight for Aleppo.

"In fact, the US started preparing a new breeding ground for the Mosul branch of Daesh in Deir ez-Zor in the middle of September. The US airstrike of the positions of the Syrian army which has been presented as a "mistake" perfectly fits into the "combinatory" logic of Pentagon," the website says.

One of the far-reaching aims of the Mosul operation, it suggests, is to drive the Syrian government forces from the east of Syria and to break into the province of Homs. The terrorists might also attempt to have revenge in Palmyra.

"The "jihadist transfer" from the Iraqi metropolis into Syrian Deir ez-Zor might become a key point of the "reply" to the Russians from the outgoing US administration," the website finally says.
