Ryan Dillon told the Associated Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clashes broke out earlier this month when federal forces retook the disputed city of Kirkuk and other areas outside the autonomous Kurdish region that the Kurds had seized from the Islamic State group. ISIS conquered those areas after sweeping across the country in 2014. Most of the Kurdish forces withdrew without a fight, but reports of low-level clashes continued and tensions remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kurdish referendum on support for independence was held in September in the three provinces that make up the Kurds\u2019 autonomous zone, as well as in a string of territories claimed by Baghdad, but at the time controlled by Kurdish forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi demanded the annulment of the vote and the transfer of border control and other infrastructure to federal forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kurdish officials offered this week to \u201cfreeze\u201d the results of the vote, but al-Abadi rejected the offer Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cease-fire comes after more than two weeks of mostly minor clashes and warnings from the coalition that the dispute was distracting from the fight against the Islamic State group.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/flashpoints\/2017\/10\/26\/us-general-iraqi-tensions-divert-resources-from-isis-fight\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP_17299544903315.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US general: Iraqi tensions divert resources from ISIS fight<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The top U.S. general in Iraq says the fallout from last month\u2019s Kurdish vote for independence ISIS diverting resources away from the war on the Islamic State group just as the coalition ISIS on the verge of defeating the extremists.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coalition said Iraqi and Kurdish troop movements and skirmishes stretched its intelligence and surveillance assets.

movement of military equipment and supplies to forces battling ISIS in Iraq and neighboring Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iraqi forces are currently fighting against ISIS in the
