Morocco Secretly Aided US-Led Coalition Against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, Pentagon Agency Reveals

While the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency was trying to explain why (in addition to the $4 billion on the table) it was allowing the sale of heavy weapons to Morocco (F-16s and missiles, among others), it confirmed that Morocco had participated in the fights against Daesh in Iraq and Syria.

We can read in the note of this official entity that the F-16s that will (if all goes well) be acquired by Morocco shortly "will improve interoperability with the United States and other regional allies and strengthen Morocco’s ability to conduct coalition operations, as it has done in the past during air sorties against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. Morocco already operates a fleet of F-16s and will have no difficulty absorbing this aircraft and its services into its armed forces."

Why doesn’t Morocco say it officially, one might legitimately wonder? And, in terms of the situation, does this have anything to do with "the complete elimination of the Islamic State in Syria", declared last Saturday, March 23, 2019 by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)?

The future sale approved by this agency concerns 25 F-16C/D Block 72 fighter aircraft, the associated equipment, as well as about sixty small diameter bombs-GBU-39/B (SDB I), 36 FMU-139 D/B rockets and, among others, forty common helmet-mounted cueing systems (JHMCS).
