Iraq have now officially asked for assistance militarily against ISIS.

There were 2 things that had to happen before many countries, including the UK took military action:

1) was to establish the new government 

2) for that new government to ask for military help.

(2) was of vital importance to gain diplomatic cover. This now allows many countries to act and for the USA to raise the level of their airstrikes.

Many countries had been waiting on items 1) and 2) as part of the coalition. Major offensive against ISIS would not take place without both. It is no accident that the formal request from the new government came hours before Obama talks.

It is huge huge news and has opened the door for a broad campaign.
