US Withdraws Troops, Patriot Batteries From Northern Iraq Amid Iran Attacks

The US has begun pulling remaining troops and Patriot missile defense systems out of the Erbil area of Iraqi Kurdistan amid sustained Iranian missile and drone strikes, leaving Kurdish allies exposed as American forces retreat toward bases in Israel and Jordan. This regional realignment reflects the escalating Middle East conflict described in end-times prophecy, where nations are drawn into conflict centered on the region surrounding Israel. Scripture speaks of wars and rumors of wars intensifying as the last days approach.
