U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham warned an ISIS takeover in both Iraq and Syria would create a "hell on earth" and called for the urgent deployment of U.S. air power to "change the battlefield equation."[178] On 13 June, Obama said the United States "will not be sending U.S. troops back into combat in Iraq," but that he would be reviewing a range of other options in coming days.

These meetings occur as ISIS proceeded to capture more territory north and west of the capital.[187] Kerry also rejected al-Maliki's request for prompt American airstrikes on the militants’ positions in Iraq and Syria, saying that care must be taken before such attacks are launched to avoid giving the impression that the Americans are targeting Sunnis.[188] -->
