Iranian Brig. Gen. Hamid Taghavi was killed in battle against ISIS in the Iraqi city of Samarra north of Baghdad. According to a statement by the Revolutionary Guards in Tehran, the general was “martyred on a mission to advise the army and Iraqi volunteers.” DEBKAfile: The statement is misleading: Gen. Taghavi was commander in chief of Iran’s Iraqi Shiite militias, who are fighting the Islamic State under the aegis of the Rev. Guards.
