Strategic Withdrawal
Despite these victories, the continuous assaults by Iranian forces took a toll on the Peshmerga. Realizing the unsustainable nature of their situation, Mustafa Barzani decided to withdraw his forces. In a strategic move, Barzani led his men across the border into Iraqi Kurdistan, ensuring their survival and ability to regroup for future resistance.[1]
