Iraq’s prime minister has now asked the U.S. Secretary of State to start working out a road map for an American troop withdrawal from Iraq, his office said today.

With this signaling their insistence on ending the U.S. military presence in the country.

Adel Abdul-Mahdi made the request in a telephone call with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo his office said in a statement.

Where he also told Pompeo that recent U.S. strikes in Iraq were an unacceptable breach of Iraqi sovereignty and a violation of the two countries’ security agreements.

The Iraqi leader asked Pompeo to “send delegates to Iraq to prepare a mechanism to carry out the parliament’s resolution regarding the withdrawal of foreign troops from Iraq,” according to the statement.

Iraqi lawmakers in the parliament passed a resolution to oust U.S. troops last Sunday, following the U.S. drone strike that killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani and senior Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis at Baghdad’s airport.

The vote put the responsibility on the government to formally request a withdrawal. And Abdul-Mahdi, addressing lawmakers at the time, called for “urgent measures” to ensure the removal of the US troops.

Abdul-Mahdi stopped short of requesting an immediate withdrawal and appeared to give the U.S. time to draw up a strategy and timeline for departure.

Still, the comments suggested he was standing by the push for the American forces to go despite what seemed to be signals toward de-escalation between Tehran and Washington after Iran retaliated for Soleimani’s death with a barrage of missiles that hit two Iraqi bases where U.S. troops are based but caused no casualties.

The U.S. State Department acknowledged that Pompeo had called Abdul-Mahdi but made no mention about the U.S. troops.

The Biblical Prophecies (Matthew 24) foretell that in the Last Days nation will rise against nation and there will be wars and rumors of wars.

These events and conditions happening now are signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).

Preparing those Biblically born again into the Kingdom of God to be ready to escape all the things that will come to pass, in the wrath of the tribulation of Revelation prophecy, that comes upon the world of disobedience. As the born again Church is not appointed unto wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10) but instead to salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
