TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Al-Badri was obliterated during an attack by militants on the positions of Syrian and Russian forces located near one of the thermal power plants in Homs province.
Upon proclaiming itself a global caliphate in 2014, Daesh managed to seize large areas of western Iraqand eastern Syria in 2015, imposing its own radical form of Sharia law there.
As a result of subsequent anti-terrorist efforts by the Syrian government and Russia, as well as the Iraqi government in neighboring Iraq and the US-led coalition, Daesh has lost over 90 percent of the territory it once controlled in Syria and Iraq, including its strongholds in Deir ez-Zor, Mosul and Raqqa.
