In an interview with BBC TV Arabic, Dr Walid Phares said "while the Administration will continue to deal with the Iraqi Government exclusively, the US Congress is moving to request a direct support to be delivered to Kurds, Arab Sunnis, Assyrians and Yazidis."

Phares argued that "while Washington stays united on dealing with Iraq as a one country, the difference between the Administration and Congress is that the latter is concerned about ISIS obliteration of the minorities and Iran pushing back against the Kurds and the Sunnis. This is why members of Congress wants to insure that the US reaches out to communities under threat."
