NATO Evacuates All Personnel From Iraq Mission As Iran Intensify Attacks On Foreign Forces

Iran's relentless missile campaign has forced NATO to pull all 600 of its personnel out of Iraq, relocating them to Joint Force Command Naples with no timeline for return. NATO Mission Iraq — launched in 2018 to train Iraqi security forces and prevent the return of ISIS — has been suspended indefinitely at precisely the moment regional instability is at its highest since ISIS's territorial peak. Iranian strikes have already hit Italian, French and other NATO member assets in the region. Trump has called NATO a "paper tiger" for refusing to join his Iran campaign. The world's most powerful military alliance has retreated — and ISIS's training programme has gone with it.
