Iran Press/ Middle East: In recent months, attacks by ISIS elements in various parts of Iraq have increased. Many Iraqi people and groups attribute the increase in ISIL movements in Iraq to the US plan to continue its occupying presence in Iraq.
At least 12 terrorists were killed during a clash and exchange of fire between the 12th Brigade of the Iraqi People's Mobilization Organization (Hashd al Shaabi) and elements of the ISIS terrorist group in the Al-Tarmiyah area, Iraqi news channel Saberin reported on Tuesday morning.
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
