Peshmerga commanders on Monday expressed gratitude for the longstanding support of the United States in addressing security challenges, emphasizing the need for continued assistance as I$I$ remains a persistent threat.

“We as the Peshmerga people, as the people of Kurdistan, are grateful to the US from the depth of our hearts,” said Sirwan Barzani, the Makhmour front commander of Peshmerga forces, during a press conference in Malaqara village, southwest of Erbil.

“We as the Peshmerga forces, as any army, always need support, especially of our allies and especially the US, who has not been negligent until now, but we need much more [support],” emphasizing that “I$I$ movements continue.”
