Addressing the nation on Tuesday, Lieutenant General Abboud Gambar said Baghdad's night-time curfew would be expanded by an hour. And permits allowing civilians to carry weapons in public would be suspended during throughout the operation, which he suggested could last weeks.

Gambar said those who had occupied homes of displaced families would be given 15 days to return the properties to the original owners or prove they had permission to be there.

And he said Iraq will temporarily close its borders with Iran and Syryia.
