Iraq says it killed prominent ISIS leader as group resurfaces
Iraqi forces killed a prominent ISIS leader, Samir Khader Sharif Shihan Al-Nimrawi, who was involved in transferring fighters, weapons, and explosives between Iraq and Syria. His death comes amid signs of ISIS's resurgence, with recent attacks including the killing of 11 truffle hunters in Syria. US intelligence estimates around 1,000 ISIS fighters in Iraq, with the group's capabilities reduced compared to the past. Security gaps persist between federal Iraq and the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. The US, maintaining 2,500 personnel in Iraq, is in talks with Iraq to potentially end the anti-ISIS coalition's mission, prompted by retaliatory strikes on Iran-backed militias.
