The Abna24 news agency has released an allegedly fresh picture of Major General Qasem Soleimani, a commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, with leaders of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), readying to the recently started operation to re-take the last major ISIS stronghold in Iraq – Mosul.
The PMU is one of the most motivated and effective forces (or maybe the most) that participates in the operation against ISIS in the area of Mosul.
The photo confirms alegations that Iran keeps a high level influence on the situation in Iraq through a wide range of pro-Iranian militias, operating in the country.
