Iran Press/ Middle East: Masoud Barzani said: "when I asked him for help, he just told me 'Just Guard the city just tonight'."
This was what the Iranian Late Commander General Soleimani had told the former president of the Kurdistan Region Masoud Barzani when the ISIS fighters were closing in around the city of Erbil in 2014.
Former president of the Kurdistan Region told MBC that how five years after Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani literally saved Erbil after the Kurdish calls for help from the US, UK, France, Turkey, and Saudis went unheeded when bloodthirsty ISIS forces were on the city’s doorstep.
Former KRG President added: "So I phoned 'Haj Qassem' and tomorrow morning he delivered two cargo planes full of weapon and ammunition."
On 3 January 2020, US President Donald Trump issued a criminal order to assassinate the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani and his companions at Baghdad Airport.
