The Daesh Takfiri group has virtually reached the point of annihilation in Iraq and Syria after its last two substantial urban strongholds in both countries were captured by government and allied forces during operations which reduced the presence of the terror group to pockets of barren desert.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tOn Friday, Iraq\u2019s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced that government forces liberated the border town of al-Qaim in Anbar province, presstv.ir reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe fresh gain means that the Daesh terrorists in Iraq are now in control of just the smaller neighboring town of Rawa and surrounding pockets of barren desert along the Euphrates River.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso on Friday, Russian-backed Syrian forces declared that they recaptured all of Dayr al-Zawr, noting that the city \u201cwas the headquarters of the organization\u2019s leadership, and in losing it, they lose their capacity to direct terrorist operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSyrian forces broke Daesh\u2019s three-year siege of government-held parts of Dayr al-Zawr after they entered the city in September.<\/p>\n

\n\tGovernment forces are now about 40 km away from the eastern border town of Bukamal, preparing for their final confrontation with remnants of the terrorist group.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe twin losses on both sides of the frontier reduces the former self-proclaimed caliphate that once ruled over millions of people in a large swath of territory into a single Syrian border town, a village on a bank of the Euphrates in Iraq and some patches of nearby desert.<\/p>\n

\n\tOfficials on both sides of the border predict that they would not face fierce resistance in their final battle against Daesh, as many of the militants, who are already besieged from all directions, have started surrendering due to lack of supplies, destruction of all organizational elements of strength and a collapse in morale.<\/p>\n

\n\tA Syrian military source told Reuters that once Bukamal is liberated, \u201cDaesh will be an organization that will cease to exist as a leadership structure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt will be tantamount to a group of scattered individuals, it will no longer be an organization with headquarters, with leadership places, with areas it controls,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Iraqi and Syrian officials, however, are still concerned over the likelihood that the remnants of Daesh militants can re-shape as a guerrilla force, capable of waging attacks without territory to defend.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to informed sources, Daesh has just a few thousand militants left on both sides of the border, many of whom are fleeing into the desert and hiding in an attempt to devolve back into an insurgent terrorist group.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Takfiri terrorists swept through parts of northern and western Iraq in June 2014. They then began a reign of terror across the captured areas, committing crimes against all ethnic and religious communities in Iraq, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians and others.<\/p>\n
