Iran and Iraq - Part VIII: Qassem; One of US
In June 2014, Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq fell into the hands of Daesh. The terrorist group managed to take control of 25 percent of the country ruling over 10 million Iraqis. To save the Iraqi nation and holy shrines, General Soleimani rushed to Iraq. Along with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, he trained and organized volunteers who were going to the front lines to help the army in its fight against terrorism. The result was a powerful organization known as the Popular Mobilization Forces that play a significant role in crushing Daesh. In less than three years after the fall of Mosul, thanks to the sacrifices of General Soleimani, Daesh was driven out of almost the whole country.
