While U.S.-Led Forces Dropped Bombs, Iran Waged Its Own Covert Campaign Against the Islamic State
Murtaza Hussain | theintercept.com | 2019-11-18
In the summer of 2014, with a campaign of shocking violence, the Islamic State established itself as the most fearsome terrorist organization in the Middle East. | In early June, the extremist group stunned the world by taking control of the Iraqi city of Mosul, home to more than 1.2 million people.

An unprecedented leak of secret intelligence reports from inside the Iranian government has shed new light on how Iran has taken control of much of the Iraqi government in the wake of the 2003 U.S. invasion.
