NATO has “temporarily” suspended its mission in Iraq due to the escalation of the regional conflict. Iraqi officials report this. The NATO Mission Iraq (Nmi) is a training and advisory mission.
“There are no disagreements” with the Iraqi government, an official said on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the topic. «This is a temporary withdrawal. They are worried about the situation,” he added.
Another official said that “the entire Nati mission has withdrawn,” except for a small number of personnel. The mission’s headquarters is located at an Iraqi military base in Baghdad’s Green Zone, near the US embassy, which has been the target of numerous attacks since the start of the war.
