In 2003, a US-led coalition invaded Iraq and removed Saddam Hussein from power. Since then, the security situation has been very instable in the country.
In 2014, an insurgency escalated into a full-scale military conflict with ISIS expanding in large areas in Iraq. Over the next three years, Iraqi security forces, supported by some global and local powers, were working to push ISIS out of the captured territories. Iraqi forces made significant gains and started storming the last remaining ISIS stronghold of Mosul.

Military Situation In Tal Afar Pocket On August 10, 2017 (Map Update)
Iraqi security forces and the Popular Mobilization Units are preparing for a large-scale operation in order to liberate the important city of Tal Afar and the nearby area from ISIS terrorists.
PMU is part of the assault but you won’t see any Peshmerga forces since they are not prone to losing soldiers well, this will be mostly Iraq PMU and coalition forces.
Would be nice if every single IS rat gets killed
According to Al Monitor PMU will not be involved in the assault on Tel Afar. it will be the regular army doing the assault. Pesh Merga’s too?
Will they attack from PMU held areas or through Pesh Merga held territories?
PMU is part of the assault but you won’t see any Peshmerga forces since they are not prone to losing soldiers well, this will be mostly Iraq PMU and coalition forces.
So why would PMU announce they are not taking part?
This operation is being delayed because of foreign pressure , mainly Turkey
I think they would have chosen a different area, there are lots of them.
i wish them 150% success!!!!
