Claimed photo of IRGC-QF commander taken near Amerli, Iraq

Above: photo depicting IRGC-QF Maj. Gen. Soleimani has emerged on social media claiming to have been taken near Amerli, Iraq. Unidentified person of interest at his side appears equipped with American-type M4 carbine; outfitted in American-style "ARMY" T-shirt and possibly MultiCam trousers.

There have been numerous reports that during the Battle of Amerli, Iranian military advisors provided coordinated assistance to ISF, Peshmerga and Shia militia forces, in a manner consistent with their advisory role in the adjoining Syrian theater of war.

Is the guy on the left wearing a US Army shirt? :-)

Appears to be American type "Army" T-shirt.

Body language appears to suggest the two are being photographed and shaking hands at request of cameraman.

It appears to be an old 90's style U.S Ar,y "PT" uniform T-shirt...Expect it's the wrong color. It should be light grey instead of dark brown. Maybe they dyed it?

Yes he is such a "military genius" that the US has to intervene in Iraq and Syria to dislodge ISIS with "western bombs". What would this "military genius" do without "western" air supeiority? Saying that,he did dance like an arab after "western bombs" were dropped on ISIS numbskulls !

Without irans weapons,ammo,military advisers and the shia militias,in short without the boots on the ground and iranian support and logistics us airpower wouldnt amount to much against a mobile and hard hitting enemy like isis,as for us "intervention" this is only because its own frankenstein monster now threatens us interests in the region rather than just syria
