Iran Press/ Middle East: The Iraqi Federal Intelligence and Investigation Agency said in a statement that Iraqi forces on Sunday carried out a unique operation to kill a number of ISIS leaders in the northern Iraqi province of Kirkuk.
According to the report, Iraqi forces targeted the hideouts of the ISIS terrorist group in Kirkuk, which killed a number of leaders of the terrorist group.
Despite the defeat of the ISIS terrorist group in Iraq, a number of members of this terrorist group are still present in different parts of the country and carry out terrorist acts in a scattered manner.
In 2014, the ISIS terrorist group, with the financial and military support of the United States and its Western and Arab allies, including Saudi Arabia, invaded Iraq, occupying large parts of the northern and western parts of the country and committing countless crimes. Iraq subsequently called on Iran to help Baghdad fight these terrorists.
On November 17, 2017, Iraqi forces, with the advisory assistance of the Islamic Republic of Iran, succeeded in liberating the city of Rawa in Anbar province western Iraq, the last ISIS base in Iraq. With the liberation of this city, ISIS was destroyed. 219
