National Security Adviser Qassem Al-Araji stressed Wednesday the continuation of international pressure to prevent the return of Daesh, while noting that Iraq needs to build a strategy for deterrence.

 Al-Araji said in a meeting within the activities of Al-Rafidain Forum, which was attended by the reporter of the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "Iraq after 2003 went through dangerous turns in the security situation and then confronted the terrorist organization Daesh," noting that "the fatwa of the supreme religious authority, Ali al-Sistani, and the persistence of sons of the people to fight  ISIS  achieved a great victory over terrorism.

 He stressed that "Iraq needs to build a strategy for deterrence," noting "the need to have the ability and strength to win the respect of all."

 He also stressed the importance of "continuing international pressure to prevent the return of ISIS," noting "the need to end the Syrian al-Hol camp because it constitutes a danger.”
