BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces received sustained small arms and rocket propelled grenade (RPG) fire from terrorists during a precision raid to capture or kill operatives with connections to the IRGC-QF. Coalition Forces returned fire on the identified enemy positions killing four terrorists.
The captured suspected terrorists are believed to be key players in a major facilitation network for smuggling weapons and components of Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFPs) from Iran into Iraq to be used against Coalition Forces.
“Coalition troops continue to conduct highly successful raids to capture these terrorists who bring EFPs and other lethal aid from Iran into Iraq,” said Major Marc Young, MNF-I spokesperson.
While its obvious that Iranian influence is hindering the prospects of peace and stability in Iraq. The western powers must remain committed to dismantling terror networks that seek to kill innocent Iraqis. To allow our own defeat to become the overwhelming attitude in Iraq, we provide countries like Iran with more power on the worlds stage. Thankfully the surge is working and operatins like this that highlight the influence and interference of Iran in Iraq help the world to come to terms that Iraq is a winnable war.
