But it has lost major Iraqi cities - including Mosul, Tikrit and Falluja - to a far smaller number of Jihadist militants. The BBC assesses how strong the army really is - in 45 seconds.

Battlefield Iraq: Heavy Clashes And Fighting Between Insurgents And Iraqi Army In The Anbar Province

Battlefield Iraq Heavy Clashes And Fighting Between Insurgents And Iraqi Army In The Anbar Province. Heavy Fighting Firefights And Clashes In Iraqs Anbar Province. Since 2014 the Anbar Province is place of fierce fighting between Sunni Iraqi Militias and the Iraqi Army. The main area of the clashes are the citys Ramadi and Falluja where a strong sunni population is located. According to Officials and witnesses, the Iraq government mainly has lost control over the strategic citys, west of Baghdad. The renewed violence in the Sunni province has raised concern about the stability of the government amid dueling claims by the terror group and security forces over who was in control of Falluja and Ramadi. Al-Qaeda black flags have been seen on government and police vehicles captured by the fighters. The army has besieged Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, and has launched air strikes on the city. Security forces backed by tanks on battled militants in Iraq's Anbar province, where fighting has displaced thousands and sparked warnings of rights abuses and a worsening humanitarian crisis. Some of the most significant fighting appeared to be in Falluja, where the U.S. military fought one of the bloodiest battles of the Iraq war, with militants planting al Qaeda flags on buildings. Gunmen calling themselves the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, formerly known as al Qaeda in Iraq, took to a stage before thousands of Sunnis following Friday prayers in Falluja. The takeover of Fallujah and parts of Ramadi is the first time that tribal fighters have exercised such open control in major Iraqi cities since the height of the bloody insurgency that followed the US-led invasion of 2003. The fighting has left more than a hundred people dead and forced thousands of Falluja's residents to flee the city, to Baghdad, northern Iraq and the southern city of Karbala, where Shiite leaders are hosting the displaced families in housing built for religious pilgrims. The United States said it would speed up its deliveries of missiles and surveillance drones to Iraq as the Baghdad government battles a resurgence of Al-Qaeda linked militants. Iraq's prime minister has urged residents and tribes in Anbar province to "expel" al-Qaeda-linked fighters to avoid an all-out battle - remarks that may signal an imminent military move to retake the former insurgent stronghold. The Insurgents mainly ambushing Iraqi Army convoys in urban areas and attacking small check points and police stations with small arms, rpgs and ieds. The Iraqi Army repels with Air Strikes and armored infantry units. The ISIL rebels were trying to bring the battle to the cities of Anbar and Fallujah because there's no security there and they know they will be thoroughly defeated in the desert. The Iraqi civil war never really ended it just went off the boil for a while. Last year, the heat was turned back to high, with the number of civilian deaths from political violence doubling to roughly 8,000 people over the previous year, the highest civilian death toll since at least 2008. Officials have blamed the upsurge in violence to a resurgent Al-Qaeda emboldened by the civil war in neighbouring Syria, but the government has itself faced criticism for not doing enough to address the concerns of Iraq's disaffected Sunni Arab minority ahead of April elections.

The Iraq government has lost control of the strategic city of Falluja, west of Baghdad, say officials and witnesses. Al-Qaeda-linked militants now control the south of the city. An Iraqi reporter there says tribesmen allied with al-Qaeda hold the rest of Falluja. The United States said it would speed up its deliveries of missiles and surveillance drones to Iraq as the Baghdad government battles a resurgence of Al-Qaeda linked militants. The White House, meanwhile, dismissed claims that the fighting, which has seen militants retake the city of Fallujah, was a result of President Barack Obama's decision to withdraw US troops. Two Iraqi Army soldiers were wounded when an Improvised Explosive Device exploded to the north of Babel province showing that the fighting is spreading over Iraq. "Unidentified gunmen emplaced a bomb nearby a security checkpoint, that belongs to the Iraqi Army/ 31st Brigade/ exploded at the entrance of Mussayib district of northern Hilla," noting that "The explosion of the IED resulted in wounding two soldiers of the security checkpoint.""The security forces blocked off the explosion area and transported the wounded soldiers to the hospital for treatment," The house of Fallujah Police Commander was detonated by gunmen on Monday. "The house of the Colonel Mohamed Allawi, the police commander of Fallujah Police Forces, was detonated by gunmen," noting that "The explosion resulted in huge material damages to the house.""The explosion did not cause any human causalities since the house was empty at the explosion time," Map of Falluja: http://adf.ly/bsdWJ Map of Ramadi: http://adf.ly/bsdcQ Like Our Facebook Page: http://on.fb.me/1h2gWju Subscribe To WarClashes: http://bit.ly/1jNCmDm

Fighting is raging between al Qaeda-backed militants and Iraq's security forces for control of two key cities in the embattled Anbar province, even as a deal was in place with Sunni tribesmen to fight alongside Iraqi police against the militant group. The renewed violence in the Sunni province has raised concern about the stability of the government amid dueling claims by the terror group and security forces over who was in control of Falluja and Ramadi. The Iraqi civil war never really ended it just went off the boil for a while. Last year, the heat was turned back to high, with the number of civilian deaths from political violence doubling to roughly 8,000 people over the previous year, the highest civilian death toll since at least 2008. Security forces backed by tanks on battled militants in Iraq's Anbar province, where fighting has displaced thousands and sparked warnings of rights abuses and a worsening humanitarian crisis.

Gunmen calling themselves the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, formerly known as al Qaeda in Iraq, took to a stage before thousands of Sunnis following Friday prayers in Falluja. "We call you to join us in our fight against the government of Nuri al-Maliki," one of the gunman said through a bullhorn. Authorities say gunmen have attacked an Iraqi army barracks north of Baghdad, killing 12 soldiers meaning that the militant attacks are spreading beyond Anbar. Human rights activists have condemned abuses by both government troops and insurgents in Iraq's Anbar province. "Apparently unlawful methods of fighting by all sides have caused civilian casualties," Human Rights Watch said in a report. The rights group criticised Iraqi forces and militants for carrying out attacks in residential areas. It comes as troops prepare to launch a major assault against al-Qaeda-linked militants in the city of Falluja. Map of Falluja: http://adf.ly/bsdWJ Map of Ramadi: http://adf.ly/bsdcQ

Iraq's army retreats as al-Qaeda seizes Mosul

Updated: 10 Jun 2014

Iraq's army retreats as al-Qaeda seizes control of the country's third biggest city, Mosul, freeing thousands of comrades in a series of jailbreaks and sparking a mass exodus of refugees. Al-Qaeda seized control of Iraq's third biggest city on Tuesday, freeing thousands of comrades in a series of jailbreaks and sparking a mass exodus of refugees. The assault on the city of Mosul, 225 miles north west of Baghdad, saw the Iraqi army retreat to the outskirts after a sustained assault by men armed with heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. As well as seizing the main governorate building - forcing the city's governor to flee - the gunmen were also reported to have gained control of three different jails, numerous police stations and an airport, where several military planes and helicopters were based. The loss of the city, home to around one million people, is potentially a huge challenge to the Iraqi government, which has been struggling to control a regalvanised al-Qaeda insurgency for more than two years now. Terrified residents of Mosul spoke of seeing militants raising al-Qaeda's black flag from buildings, and of newly-released prisoners running through the streets in yellow jumpsuits. The militants are believed to be from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the joint Iraqi-Syrian al-Qaida affiliate that is also fighting President Bashar al-Assad's regime in neighbouring Syria. Seizing control of Mosul, which lies on a stretch of the Tigris less than 100 miles from the Syrian border, would help the group in its aim of carving out a swathe of uncontested territory straddling the two borders. While the exact picture in Mosul was still confused on Tuesday because of the ongoing fighting, the militants appeared to have made significant ground in routing Iraqi security forces, some of whom were filmed being pelted with rocks as they pulled out of the city. "The city of Mosul is outside the control of the state and at the mercy of the militants," an interior ministry official told the Agence France Presse news agency, saying soldiers had fled after removing their uniforms. Several residents told the Associated Press that the militants were now touring the city with loudspeakers, announcing that they had "come to liberate Mosul and would fight only those who attack them".

File - In this Monday, Oct. 6, 2003 file photo, an abandoned watchtower and lines of barbed wire are seen surrounding Iraq's largest oil refinery as smoke rises from a petroleum gas flare, in the city of Beiji, north of Baghdad. On Wednesday, June 18, 2014, a top Iraqi security official said Islamic militants of the al-Qaida-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant laid siege to Iraq's largest oil refinery late Tuesday night, threatening a facility key to the country's domestic supplies as part of their ongoing lightning offensive across the country. The Beiji refinery accounts for a little more than a quarter of the country's entire refining capacity and any lengthy outage at Beiji risks long lines at the gas pump and electricity shortages, adding to the chaos already facing Iraq.

Al-Qaeda inspired militants stand with captured Iraqi Army Humvee at a checkpoint outside Beiji refinery, some 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of Baghdad, Iraq, Thursday, June 19, 2014. The fighting at Beiji comes as Iraq has asked the U.S. for airstrikes targeting the militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. While U.S. President Barack Obama has not fully ruled out the possibility of launching airstrikes, such action is not imminent in part because intelligence agencies have been unable to identify clear targets on the ground, officials said.

Top Aereogramme, No Really, Everything's Fine

The reason we're all disfigured
I will say it again
The reason we're all disappointed
With innocence lost
You're alone
You can feel the resentment
Burning a pathway
Straight to your heart
I saw kingdom come
Maybe your life is wonderful
I wish you well
Please understand I won't change you
So grant me the same
I know this
There's a plain white horizon
I want it so badly
It seems after all
That you will be done
And it's done
Reaching on out
And it's done
We are all defenceless now
On your own you left somehow
With these broken bones
These broken bones
But I am one with these chains
Come around and I regain
With my broken bones
My broken bones
The reason we're all disfigured
I will say it again
The reason we're all disappointed
With innocence lost
You're alone
You can feel the resentment
Burning a pathway
Straight to your heart

Top Aereogramme, Nightmares

Nightmares en route to Dallas
Born out of one bad habit
One filled with lust and fire
Unconscious, dark desire
One riddled with guilt again
To shame a family name
My head is caving in
And now
Only love can save me now
Only love can save me now
This rotting mouth and faded memory
This self-inflicted awful injury
Leads to a vengeful
Which tears won't break apart
My head is caving in
My head is caving in
My head is caving in at last
And now
Only love can save me now
Only love can save me now
Only love can save me now

I need you there to help me crawl

And when do they tear my sweet dreams down
I need you there to help me crawl

A silhouette turning over
I'll wait for you here
And I keep forgetting
Where I'm meant to be
All so far yet all so near
So tell me
Just what are these gifts that you bring
This love is amazing
But the colours keep changing
And I'm sure
We shouldn't be wasting away
My rotten history
Will find it's place
So don't go
So cold
So don't go
So cold
I'll not be afraid
It's taken this long
To come back again
And yes, I might suffer
The fate of another
Of shit and the bones
And all things considered
I walked with my hands held out
I walked with my hands held out
To you and all that's good

We shouldn't be wasting away) x4

Emotion on loan
Curse my lack of self

If this isn't love
Then what have I been searching for
A calm empty mind
Is something that I'll never find
Or need to define
So it seems
I can't control this fever
The carousel mind
Some trouble to fight
Humbled, call us one I'll call you Inkwell
My long suffering muse
I better not shout about it

Something that I'll never find

With each inhalation
I'm scared that I will lose
The memories of you

Told me how to

Always knew I would

Maybe it's strange
I've barely made a sound for twenty-four hours
But what's to say
When all that's inside is poison to everyone
But I know one day I'll find a new light
And I will take the sickness and I'll bury it down
Cause every moment, every second
Should be precious, understand
That I don't know how to live
At all
At all
Maybe I'll change
Start a sick cult on mysterious islands
Or run away
And tell the whole world there's anger in all of us
But I know one day I'll find a new light
And I will take this sickness and bury it down
Cause every moment, every second
Should be precious, understand
That I don't know how to live

But I don't know how to live
But I don't know how to live

And I doubt I'll find one soon
I cursed you all for leaving
I pushed you all away
Oh how long will this last
Will I stay
Won't you help me to find
A way out
Some exits
A lifeline
But will I only come out
To a bigger room
And we've all got exits
We keep on running to
So grab yourself a bottle
It's yours as much as mine
We'll toast the air, the sky
And anything that we cannot find
Won't you help me find
A way out
Some exits
A lifeline

Where everyone becomes afraid of you

The darkest Sunday from your own past
Right now, I can see the ground turn
From green and red, black to grey
Where everyone becomes afraid of you

Just one last journey to your island
Where there's no peace
And some kind of useless love
Wrapped in a whistle

To watch gentle lights from the window
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I've always been
Stronger to question
All I hold as true

Seen more than this

Black eye above me
Better free than saved

It's close to midnight
Something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed
This is thriller, thriller night
And no-ones going to save you from the beast about to strike
It's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer thriller tonight
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
This is the end of your life
They're out to get you
There's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you
Unless you change that number on your dial
Now is it time
For you and I to cuddle close together
All through the night
I'll save you from the terrors on the screen
I'll make you see
It's thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can throw more than any ghoul would rather dare try
It's thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer chiller tonight
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorise your neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of fourty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist

And turned my heart
And thoughts to heaven
Oh foolish boy
What could you know
Aged eleven

But I was closed
And I thought I had answers

And I thought that the good light
Would guide me home
For thirteen years

And waited out the final days
But now there's time
To live my life
As it decays
As it decays

Cut throat, slit your wrist, shoot you in the back fair game
Drug abuse, self abuse searching for the next high
Sounds a lot like hell is spreading all the time
I'm waiting for the day the whole world fucking dies
I never said I wanted to be God's disciple
I'll never be the one to blindly follow
Man made virus infecting the world
Self-destruct human time bomb
What if there is no God would you think the fuckin' same
Wasting your life in a leap of blind faith
Wake the fuck up can't ignore what I say
I got my own philosophy
I hate everyone equally
You can't tear that out of me
No segregation -separation
Just me in my world of enemies
I never said I wanted to be God's disciple
I'll never be the one to blindly follow
I'll never be the one to bear the cross-disciple
I reject this fuckin' race

Top Aereogramme, Barriers

I thought the fight was over
All battles won
I thought you lit your blind folds
And watched them burn
I thought that I could show you
All that I've found
But these barriers dictate all sight and all sound
I found love in the loneliest places
Places I shouldn't be found
I found love in the home of a sinner
Wrapped in some bitter sweet song
So let me tell the truth
And let me come alive
Let me build bridges
Into your life
I'm sick of being born again and again
I don't need conditions to let you in
Have you noticed how we talk
And how we play our games
A leather-bound appeal
To change our ways
All I wanted was to show you
All that I've found
No answers, no exits, no prophecy a pound
I found love in the loneliest places
Places I shouldn't be found
I found love in the home of a sinner
Wrapped in some bitter sweet song
So let me tell the truth
Let me come alive
Let me build bridges
Into your life
I'm sick of being born again and again
I don't need conditions to let you in
I found love in the loneliest places
Places I shouldn't be found
I found love in the home of a sinner
Wrapped in some bitter sweet song
So let me tell the truth
And let me come alive
Let me build bridges
Into your life
I'm sick of being born again and again
I don't need conditions to let you in
I never meant to hurt you
Or drive you away

Top Aereogramme, Asthma Came Home For Christmas

Paint the sky
Take my skin
My holy one
There's worse to come
I suffocate
Breathing air
My only one
Am I the one
Who will be with you
To fall, to fall back into place
But how do I belong
Watch and wait
Take your time
My distant one
Will you come
This oxygen
Is denied
By closest one
On your side
I want to be with you
Oh, to fall, to fall back into place
But how do I belong here, here
I'll wait for you here
I'll wait for you here
I'll wait for you here
I'll wait for you here
I'll wait for you here

Top Aereogramme, A Meaningful Existence

Hey, there's a new scar
Wait, it's a little star
Not bad for the unplanned
The greatest mistake I have
Hey, didn't write the rest of these songs
I made them up as I went along
Not bad for the unplanned
The greatest mistake I have
So what can I do
What can I say
What can I do
What can I say
What can I do
What can I say
What can I do
What can I

Top Aereogramme, A Life Worth Living

Oh sweet emptiness fill my cup
Watch it overflow
And flood my soul
The silence that I know so well
My only friend
My bitterest opponent
The loneliest isle
But I came here so
I could let you go
And I could cut you out
So I can live
(A life worth living
A life worth living
A life worth living
A life worth...) x2
Oh sweet emptiness fill my cup

So I can live

(A life worth living

This can't be found in all of me
This can't be found in all of me
This can't be found in all of me
A mortal cage
A mortal cage
A mortal cage

Top Aereogramme, A Conscious Life For Coma Boy

A potent mix of wonder
Ignorance and fear
A place to hide under
A secret place to keep
Self-serving answers
Paper-thin belief
Come bury your soul with me
I know I'd like a conscious life
I don't know how to get there
I don't know how to get there
So keep me right
We're wasting time
I don't know how to get there
I don't know how...
Awaken
Stand up and fight
For all you've yet to know
Coma boy
A bloated rich endeavour
Unnecessary care
Something I should bury
Or something I should share
Listen for doubtful ramblings
And you'll find me there
Come bury your soul with me
I know I'd like a conscious life
I don't know how to get there
I don't know how to get there
So keep me right
We're wasting time
I don't know how to get there
And I don't know how...
Awaken
Stand up and and fight
For all you've yet to know
Coma boy
It's not something to love or hate
But don't you dare go throw it away
May you be all you can
