Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani has reportedly been caught on camera in the Iraqi city of Amerli, fuelling rumours that the top military mastermind is in the frontline city, working with the United States to push back militants from the Islamic State organisation (IS).

The fight to release Amerli from the chokehold of the Islamic State organisation brought together strange bedfellows — Iraqi and Iranian militias backed by American air support.

Recent footage supports rumours that Qassem Soleimani, a military mastermind at the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, coordinated the successful campaign to liberate the besieged city.

The video below was published Thursday on Facebook by Iranian Shiite activists. The men in the video (including Soleimani) are said to be celebrating the liberation of Amerli.
