For a moment, chaos erupted and the world seemed to be at a critical juncture. Moran mercenaries, Russian airborne troops, the Iraqi government army, IS, Americans, and even some of the United Nations peacekeeping forces were mobilized by a series of seemingly accidental incidents, converging near the Zagros Mountains, where the Lure people resided.
Large masses of IS armed forces had occupied the Zagros Mountains, and satellite detection showed that IS was continuously reinforcing their presence in the mountainous region.
Only then did the Iraqi government seem to recognize the strategic importance of the Zagros Mountains! It was the critical choke point where the government forces, Kurdish insurgents, and IS Country met. Whoever occupied the Zagros mountain region held the initiative to attack the other two sides and could cut off their avenues for joining forces.
