That's pretty much what's happening. The Syrian Kurds are surrounding Raqqa, and the Iraqis are currently recapturing Mosul. After Mosul, I think the Iraqis will push along the Euphrates to Al-Qaim. After that, Iraq will pretty much be back under Iraqi control, besides the desolate desert areas.

edit: just read that the hills around Palmyra are now under SAA control and that the city should be recaptured very soon. Good news!
