IMIS ousted from Tal Afar operations

Iranian Militias in Iraq and Syria (IMIS) will not participate in Tal Afar operations, due to international and local pressure, IMIS top leader Jawad al-Tulaibawi said Thursday.

 

In a press statement, Tulaibawi said that the US commanders and Kurdistan regional president Masoud Barzani pressured Baghdad’s government to exclude IMIS militias from the operations and they succeeded in that.

 

This comes as several international and local human rights organizations accused IMIS militias of committing sectarian genocide against Sunnis in Iraq to carry out a demographic change that serves Iranian Mullah’s Shiite crescent scheme.
