We are going to get the latest first on the unrest sweeping iraq, where jihadist militants courted by iraq have over the past week or so overrun a large area of the country. The militants captured another strategic city, the city of tal afar and sent thousands fleeing to safety. The rapid territorial games has plunged the country in its most serious crisis since u. S. Troops withdrew in 2011. That has placed the United States and her alleys in a complicated and unexpected situation. John kerry said earlier on today that while joint military operations with iran are out of the question, there is scope for other cooperation between washington and iran with the goal of tackling the extremist threat in iraq.
