It is August 2018. Iraq is under full-scale assault. Extremist Muslims and radicals who claim to be successor of the now-extinct ISIS terrorist organization--calling themselves the "Islamic Daesh"--launch a devastating attack on the Iraqi city of Baghdad, the largest single hostile aggression by a non-state organization in history. Government buildings and offices are destroyed by brutal bomb attacks. Mass shooting on public centers massacre thousands. The brutality is beyond compare. Iraqi forces are scrambled to combat the Islamic Daesh, which had swiftly taken control of key city centers and captured the Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi. Most government buildings lay in ruins. As Iraqi reinforcements arrive, the terrorists are slowly pushed back. Fighting continues throughout the following five days, however, resistance is stiff, and the Iraqi Armed Forces are unable to deploy tanks due to the high civilian population. Counterinsurgency protocols are followed, and the Iraqi Air Force deploys bombers to pound terrorist positions. By the eight day, Baghdad is liberated, after continuous bombing rounds and the arrival of American troops eliminated the remaining Islamic Daesh forces. Prime Minister al-Abadi is rescued from a warehouse by American soldiers, along with 22 other high-ranking officials.
Toll: Over 32,700 terrorists are killed, plus 7,000 Iraqi soldiers and over 1,900 civilians. 16 Americans are killed. Result: around 41,600 dead.
Verdict: A costly American-Iraqi victory. The terrorists are repelled, but at an unimaginable price. The Islamic Daesh reveals itself as a successor to ISIS, a powerful new enemy with unbelievable capabilities.
August 30: US President Donald Trump condemns the attacks, calling them "repulsive and hideous." He immediately declares war on the Islamic Daesh and calls for the shipment of 20,000 additional troops to Iraq. Similar remarks are made by Saudi Arabia, the UK, France, Australia and Russia, who also declare war on the Islamic Daesh. France, UK, Canada, Poland, Australia and Italy also send a combined 9,000 troops in a united, anti-Islamic Daesh coalition.
September 1: The UN condemns the Baghdad attacks and declares the Islamic Daesh "enemy number one", and give a green light for actions to be taken against the terrorist organization. The United Coalition for Peace (UCP) is installed as the official anti-Islamic Daesh coalition. The original members are the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the UK, France, Canada, Poland, Australia, Iraq, Israel, Turkey, Denmark, Norway and South Korea. Iraq gives permission to the UCP to freely operate in Iraqi soil.
September 3: Ground operations in Iraq commence. The city of Baghdad is placed under more intense, organized security. Advanced counterinsurgency elements become readily available, and soldiers patrol the streets 24/7. Prime Minister al-Abadi declares war on the Islamic Daesh, and states that "there shall be no mercy for the terrorists". In the Iraqi desert wilderness, the Islamic Daesh is formalized and properly organized. Over 50,000 new recruits--mostly former ISIS members and lone Iraqi radicals--join. The Islamic Daesh inherits the vast and highly advanced intelligence network of ISIS, as well as the vast networks of income sources such as drug and human trafficking, prostitution, kidnapping and other illegal ventures. Their first act as a formalized organization is the murder of 50 Iraqi soldiers taken prisoners by retreating terrorists during the Baghdad attacks. The murders are videotaped and released on social media.
September 9: Iraqi Minister of Defense Irfan Al Hayali is killed after the convoy he was traveling on is bombed by Islamic Daesh fighters, acquired from Russian mercenaries by the ISIS months before. Minister Hayali was traveling to a funerary service made to commemorate the victims of the Baghdad attacks. 17 others are killed.
September 11: During a heavily-secured 9/11 commemoration service in New York City, US, a suicide bomber detonates a homemade bomb amidst a crowd in Times Square. The bomb kills 4 people and injures 6 more. The attack rocks the world and leaves the UCP as a laughingstock, as their so-called "Coalition for Peace" has achieved little to prevent attacks. The Islamic Daesh claims responsibility. It is their first international attack so far. At the same time, a 600-people mob protests in the Iraqi city of Basra, demanding more protection against terrorism and rejecting the UCP as "inefficient". Prime Minister al-Abadi implores for order and "stronger action by the UCP." He then mobilized 1,000 extra troops to defend Iraqi roads.
Leave your thoughts here! What should happen next? I was gonna put this on the Worlds section, but I believed this place was more fit. Lets shape this future scenario!

It seems likely to me that this would lead to an intensification of Western efforts, although I think that recent events might have ensured less European support.
In the end, it will be business as usual, but with even more American panic. The Islamists still don't have the kind of foreign support they need to get anywhere, all they have is the relative weakness of the Iraqi government, Assad no longer has a use for them as a bogeyman in his own country, so it will be a mostly American affair I think. There will be a new wave of refugees, but there also is a system that's more prepared for that sort of thing.
But I don't know about the Islamists having access to planes, the Russians would never give them to such a group.

I would think Russia, together with Iran and Syria would create their own alliance to combat terrorism instead of working with the Western powers, especially due relations as they are current. |

I would think Russia, together with Iran and Syria would create their own alliance to combat terrorism instead of working with the Western powers, especially due relations as they are current. Right now, we see Saudi Arabia in a very precarious situation. Allegations have begun to swirl that they are funding terrorists, and suddenly Saudi Arabia becomes the bad guy in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia does have connections with the Islamic Daesh, and many terrorist leaders have been given refuge in the country. In order to save their reputation and prevent some kind of Western retaliation, the Arabians have decided to join the UCP regardless of who is there. Certainly they're a wildcard: at any moment they could leave, and they're mostly in for the PR, but if the Arabians want to save their necks, it's better for them to be there. Also, I was planning to add the fact that Russia leaves the UCP following the initial failures and form a new coalition with some Middle Eastern countries, however, that's for later. Right now, Russia is in simply because it's the only coalition around and they're kinda bored. |
