4:50 pm
attacks on an isstall bull airport, a restaurants in benghazi la deficient, bastille day celebrations and music physical in germany. the decline of isil in syria and iraq appears to be causing it to shift to tactics that we've seen before. even greater emphasize on encouraging high profile terrorist attacks including in the united states. as always, our military diplomatic intelligenc professionals are working around the clock with other countries, and with communities here at home, to share information and prevent such attacks. over the years they've prevented many. but as we've seen, it's still very difficult to detect and prevent lone actors or small cells of terrorists who are determined to kill the innocent and willing to die. that's why as we discussed today we're going to keep going after isil aggressively across every
4:51 pm
our air campaign continues to hammer isil targets. more than 14,000 trikes so far, more than 100,000 sorties, including those hitting the isil core in rocka, and in mosul. and in star contrast to isil which uses civilians as human shields america's armed forces will do everything in our power to avoid civilian casualties. with our extraordinary technical we'redu after all, it is the innocent civilians of syria and iraq who are suffering the most. and who need to be saved from isil's terror. so when theirations of civilian casualties, we take them very seriously. we work to find the facts, to be transparent and hold ourselves accountable for doing better in the future. we continue to take out senior isil leaders and commanders.
4:52 pm
a top commander in mosul, and another significant loss for isil, the minister of war. none of isil's leaders are safe and we're going to keep going after them. on the ground in iraq, local forces keep pushing isil back. in a major success, iraqi forces with coalition support finally now they're clearing fighters for more areas up the valley and iraqi forces retook the strategic air base, just 40 miles from mosul, now the last major isil stroke hold in iraq. given the success, the additional 560 u.s. support personnel that i ordered to iraq last month will hi turn this base into a logistical hub and
4:53 pm
of local forces backed by our special operations forces and air strikes continues to take the fight to isil as well. the coalition is fighting its way into the town, a gateway for isil fighters coming in, and terrorists heading out to attack europe which is why isil is fighting hard to hold it. as isil's beaten back we're gaping vast amounts of intelligence. thousands of documents, thumb drives, digital files which we isil's networks and stop foreign fight ers. we also continue to intensify efforts against al-qaeda in syria, no matter what name it calls itself cannot be allowed to maintain a safe haven to train and plot attacks against us. i do want to step back and note the broader progress that has been made in this campaign so far. two years ago isil was racing across iraq to the out skirts of baghdad itself and to many
4:54 pm
since then, isil has lost at the dam, at the crite, sinjar, ramadi, at height, and now fallujah. in syria, isil lost at can you be wani, and several other areas. isil lost tertroy across vast stretches of the border with turkey, almost all major transit in both iraq and syria, isil has not been able to reclaim any significant territory that they have lost. so i want to row pete, isil has not had a major successful offensive operation in syria or iraq in a full rather. even isil's leaders know they're going to keep losing. their message to followers, increasingly acknowledging they may lose mosul and raqqa, and isil is right.
4:55 pm
driving them out dill they do. in other words, isil turns out not to be invincibility. they are in fact inevitably going to be defeated. we do recognize at the same time that the situation is complex and this cannot be solved by military force alone. that's why last month the united states and countries around the world pledged more than $2 billion in new funds to help iraqis stablingize and rebuild their communities. that's why we're working with campaign to liberate mosul is matched with humanitarian and political efforts to protect civilians and promote inclusive governsance and development so isil cannot return by exploiting divisions or new grievances. in syria, as i've repeatedly said, defeating isil and al-qaeda requires and end to the civil war. and the assad regime brutality against their people, pushing people into the arms of
4:56 pm
to violate the cessation of hostalities. medieval siege against cities like aleppo, and blocking food from reaching families that are starving. it is deplorable. and the depravity has he wered the condemnation of the world. russia's direct involvement in these actions over the last self weeks raises serious questions about their commitment to pull the situation back from the brink. the u.s. work with rus trito reduce the efforts against isil and al-qaeda in syria. but so far, russia has failed to take the necessary steps. given the deteriorating situation, it is time for russia to show that it is sear i can't say about pursuing these objectives. beyond syria and iraq, we'll keep working with allies and purposes to go after isil wherever it tries to spread.
4:57 pm
strikes in support of governmental aligned forces they fight to retake cert and we will continue to support the government's efforts to secureth country. in afghanistan, one of the ropes that i decided to largely maintain our current force poster was to keep eliminating isil's presence there. and we delivered another blow last month when we took out a top isil leader in afghanistan. finally, it should be clear by now, and no one better than our military leaders, that even as we need to crush isil on the battlefield, their military defeat will not be enough. so long as they're twisted idol persists and drives people to violence, groups like isil will keep emerging. and the international community will continue to be at risk in getting sucked into the kind of global lack movement where we're always reacting to the latest threat or lone actor.
4:58 pm
counter violent extremist, including the soldier, economic and political factors that help fuel groups like isil and al-qaeda in the first place. nothing will do more to discredit isil and phony claims to being a caliphate than when it loses its base in raqqa and moz. and we're going to keep working with partners including mike mccarthy countries and communities, especially on line, to expose isil for what they are, they kill innocent people including muslim families and chirp, as they break their fast and set off bombs in one of the holist sites in islam. we refuse to let terrorists and voices of division under mine unity and values of diversity and pluralism that keep our nation strong. one of the ropes that america's armed forces are the best in the world, we draw on the skills and talents of all of our citizens. from ail backgrounds and faiths.
4:59 pm
americans who risk and give their lives for our freedom. i think the entire world was inspired this past sunday when muslims across france joined their catholic neighbors at mass in a moving display of solidarity prayed together. the greeting they extended has to be the message we echo in all our countries and communities. peace be with you and also with you. now, before i take some questions, i want to say a few wordsony another topic. as our public health experts have been warning we are now seeing the first locally transmitted cases of theizen by mosquitoes in the continuenal united states. this was predicted. and predictable. so far we've seen 15 cases in the miami area. we're taking this extreme lay seriously. our cdc experts are on the ground working shoulder to shoulder with throw health authorities. there is a very aggressive way to control mosquitoes there and
5:00 pm
stay away from the particular neighborhood we're focused on. we'll work as one team, federal, state and local to try to slow and limit the spread of the virus. i want to be very clear, our public health experts do not expect to see the kind of widespread outbreaks of zika here that we've seen in brazil or puerto rico. the kind of mosses that care zika are limited to certain regions of the country. we can't be we expect to see more zika cases. even though the symptoms for most people are mild, many may never know they have it. we've seen that the complications for pregnant women and their babies can be severe. so i want to encourage every american to learn what they can do to help stop zika by going to cdc.gov. in addition, congress needs to do its job. fighting zika costs money. helping puerto rico deal with
