air strikes on isis targets in iran and syria. the united states obviously very focused on an eventual offensive to drive isis out of mosul. the second largest city in iraq. a place where its expected there will be a lot of resistance from isis when that operation eventually happens. at the moment all eyes in iraq are on the battle in tikrit. it has been going on for a week. what we have seen is the iraqi army appears to be playing a supporting role for a variety of predominately shi'a militias. yesterday, we were up at the front. we saw within three days they advanced 50 miles just to the edge of tikrit. we saw rocket launchers, mortars and heavy artillery lined up and ready to go. we watched as they went in for a midday attack on a town just to the east of tikrit.
