The Multi-National Force – Iraq (MNF–I), often referred to as the coalition forces, was a military command during the 2003 invasion of Iraq—codenamed "Operation Iraqi Freedom"—and much of the ensuing Iraq War, led by the United States of America, United Kingdom, Australia and Poland, responsible for conducting and handling military operations.
The MNF-I replaced the previous force, Combined Joint Task Force 7, on 15 May 2004, and was later itself reorganized into its successor, United States Forces – Iraq, on 1 January 2010. The Force was significantly reinforced during the Iraq War troop surge of 2007. As of May 2011, all non-U.S. coalition members had withdrawn from Iraq, with the U.S. military withdrawing from the country on December 18, 2011, thus, bringing about an end to the Iraq War.
Also in Iraq, since August 2003, is the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq, which does humanitarian work and has a number of guards and military observers. The U.N. Assistance Mission in Iraq was not a part of the MNF-I, but a separate entity. The NATO Training Mission – Iraq, was in Iraq from 2004 to December 2011, where it trained the Iraqi Army and the Iraqi police forces.
The Syrian Army, officially the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) (Arabic: الجيش العربي السوري al-Jaysh al-’Arabī as-Sūrī), is the land force branch of the Syrian Armed Forces. It is the dominant military service of the four uniformed services, controlling the most senior posts in the armed forces, and has the greatest manpower, approximately 80 percent of the combined services. The Syrian Army originated in local military forces formed by the French after World War I, after France obtained a mandate over the region. It officially came into being in 1945, before Syria obtained full independence the following year.
Since 1946, it has played a major role in Syria's governance, mounting five military coups (two in 1949, including the March 1949 Syrian coup d'état and the August 1949 coup by Colonel Sami al-Hinnawi, 1954, 1963, 1966, and in 1970. It has fought four wars with Israel (1948, the Six Day War in 1967, 1973, and 1982 in Lebanon) and one with Jordan (Black September in Jordan, 1970). An armored division was also deployed to Saudi Arabia in 1990–91 during the Persian Gulf War, but saw little action. From 1976 to 2005 it was the major pillar of the Syrian occupation of Lebanon. Internally, it played a major part in suppressing the 1979–82 Islamist uprising in Syria, and since early 2011 has been heavily engaged in fighting the Syrian Civil War, the most violent and prolonged war the Syrian Army has taken part in since its establishment in the 1940s.
Islamic state is a type of government based on Islamic religious law (sharia).
Islamic state may also refer to:
The US-led coalition has bombed Syrian army’s positions near the eastern city of Dayr al-Zawr. The attack targeted a military airport at the vicinity of Thardah Mountain. According to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, at least 83 soldiers have been killed and over 120 wounded in the airstrikes. Russia puts the death toll at over 60. ISIL immediately went on the offensive after the strikes and took control of the area. However, the Syrian army managed to retake the lost ground. Under a fragile truce deal brokered by the United States and Russia, fighting in Syria is to halt on all fronts across the country except those held by ISIL and Nusra Front.

Russia threatens to target US-led coalition planes in Syria Russia has said that it will treat all US-led coalition aircraft to the west of the Euphrates River in Syria as "targets" after US forces downed a Syrian warplane. Moscow’s defence ministry also said that it halted an incident-prevention hotline with Washington, used to avoid clashes on the busy Syrian airspace. Washington said it will maintain its right to self defence, adding that the Syrian plane in question was dropping bombs near US-backed forces fighting ISIL.

http://democracynow.org - Details are emerging about U.S.-led coalition airstrikes that are believed to have killed over 200 people in a single day in Iraq. The U.S.-led coalition has admitted launching airstrikes on March 17 targeting a crowded neighborhood in Mosul.

The ISIL, or Daesh international conference in Paris: 26 countries participated, out of the more than 30 countries that have signed up to a US-led plan: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, to mention some regional countries, and among western nations, UK, and of course France: the very same countries that supported these terrorist militants years ago with the aim of overthrowing President Assad. Iran’s leader has said the US seeks military presence in Mideast, and said Iran rejected US’s repeated request for Iran’s cooperation, and while news came out that some European countries have bought oil from the ISIL, we ask in this edition of the debate: Is the US using the ISIL issue to leave open the door to conducting military incursions i.e. air strikes at any time, like it does in Pakistan and other c...

EXCLUSIVE: VICE News Meets Barack Obama: http://bit.ly/1wT03Bi Last summer, the group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) swept from Syria into northern Iraq, routing Iraqi security forces and seizing the city of Mosul. Soon afterward, the group declared the establishment of a dubious "caliphate" in the area it controls and rebranded itself the Islamic State. With Iraq's army weakened and radical militants advancing on Baghdad, the country's Iran-backed Shia militias — which have their own history of sectarian abuses — fought back, halting the Islamic State's progress. The militias have successfully combated Islamic State fighters on the ground with the assistance of air strikes from a US-led military coalition. But their growing influence within Iraq's government amid acc...

In the Syrian city of Raqqa, the group that calls itself 'Islamic State' is under siege. Its fighters are surrounded by a Kurdish led, US-backed coalition. It may be months before the city falls, but when itdoes it will mean - effectively - the end of the so called 'caliphate'. But what then? Gabriel Gatehouse reports.
