Mullah Mustafa, a Taliban commander who was targeted by the US
military in an airstrike nearly a decade ago and who has links to Iran's
Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp - Qods Force, remains a key player in the
insurgency in central Afghanistan. He was involved in the Taliban takeover of
a district in Ghor.

An Iraqi-Shiite militia controlled by Iran’s Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed yesterday that its forces came under
fire from American artillery shells in the vicinity of Jamouna, Syria. A US
Defense spokesman rejected the allegation. The Islamic State posted footage
of a raid in that area on the same day that shows the Shiite militia's flag,
strongly suggesting an attempt by the Shiite-jihadist militia to cover up an
attack by the Sunni-jihadist group, muddy the waters and shift the blame to
the United States.
