The People's Liberation and Resistance clashes with the United States Marines and Russian GRU. They work arm-in-arm with the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran after a disastrous earthquake took place in the Kurdish region of Iraq-Iran when they led the coup d'état, in which Faruk Al-Bashir, leader of the PLR, takes over Iran.
After the PLR captured Sergeant Jonathan Miller, Solomon executed him when filmed and the recording of his execution is released on Internet.
When the Marines are sent to capture Al-Bashir, they wounded and extracted him. But when they thought he was responsible of those events, Al-Bashir gave them a critical intel about when and where the bombs are set to explode. He cursed Solomon for using everyone, including the PLR as explained by Dima Mayakovski.
While the GRU fought not only the PLR but also Gendarmerie and GIGN as well, the PLR successfully bombed Paris, killing eighty-thousand people in the process. This caused world superpowers to go into a state of war.
At New York, after Staff Sergeant Henry Blackburn fought alone the PLR cells by making his way through the subway train then sewer, he, along with Private First Class David Montes, chased after Solomon. Solomon shot dead Montes following the crash, but as he was about to detonate the bomb, Blackburn overpowered and killed him, ending his threat with the PLR's plotters either arrested or killed.
