The town, with its nearly 20,000 Shia Turkmen, was besieged by ISIS starting in June 2014. It was running out of food, water, and supplies. On August 31, the Quds Force, the overseas arm of the IRGC under the command of Soleimani, joined the Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and the Popular Mobilization Units – Hashd al-Shaabi, breaking the siege, which was described by some top analysts as Iraq’s biggest victory against ISIS.
