A spokesperson for the U.S.-led coalition fighting the self-proclaimed Islamic State says the militants have lost 30 percent of the territory they once held in Iraq and Syria. U.S. Army Colonel Steve Warren made the announcement Tuesday.
Col. Steve Warren: “We believe, in Iraq, it’s about 40 percent; in Syria, harder to get a good number, we think it’s kind of under 20; and altogether around 30 percent, we believe, taking together Iraq and Syria.”
