Kurdish Peshmerga forces have retreated to the positions they held in June 2014, before the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group swept through Iraq. Iraqi forces say they have achieved their objectives in a 48-hour operation against Kurdish forces in the disputed areas. Press TV’s Altaf Ahmad reports from Kirkuk.
