ISIS's power derived from its vast financial resources and financing channels that it has achieved. So as long as funding continues, terrorist activities of ISIS will continue. Therefore, it can be argued that the battle against ISIS is the war against resources. In such a battle we can only win if we eliminate the financing channels.
Undoubtedly, it is illusory to imagine that financial channels can be destroyed directly and straight but it is necessary to identify the target groups that are attempting to finance ISIS and finally disappointing them in achieving their goals, cause the end of financing ISIS. Certainly, obtaining cheap oil is one of the great hopes of groups that are supporting ISIS today. Thus, the ISIS is defeated in its mission to gain control of oil and providing cheap oil, and that failure becomes inevitable, then we can hope that ISIS was seen as a burnt game and financial support of these groups must be cut.
One of the ways through which one can carry to stop ISIS from its mission, is the same action that French foreign minister has done recently; he recently announced that ISIS sell Iraqi oil to Syria. There is no doubt that groups which are supporting ISIS, try to maintain their credit despite their desire to achieve cheap oil, in other words, in the realm of politics and business, protecting and enhance the credibility and reputation will always take precedence over other goals, such as power and wealth. Therefore, to obtain documents and information undeniable to pressure the groups that are supporting ISIS will be a practical soft weapon against the hard war.
