RNA - "The differences on Syria pose a threat of resumption of activities of the Daesh (ISIS or ISIL) terror group and threaten the Iraqi borders," Abadi said while aired by official Iraqi television.

The Prime Minister pointed out that the Iraqi troops had achieved significant progress in eliminating remaining Daesh forces in the provinces of Diyala, Kirkuk and Salahuddin.

In December 2017, Abadi announced the victory over the Daesh group but later admitted that further struggle with the terrorists was needed.
