The National Atlantic Treaty Organizations (NATO) declared its stance supporting the United States following the assassination of Qassim Soleimani, a top Iranian military Major-General.

Jens Stoltenberg, General Secretary for NATO announced on Monday that all members of the organization stand behind the United States after they were briefed about the US drone strike on Baghdad’s airport.

Speaking after a rare NATO meeting on Iran and Iraq in which the United States briefed its allies about last Friday’s drone attack, Stoltenberg also called for a de-escalation of tensions, echoing the statements of some European leaders, Aljazeera reported.

We are united in condemning Iran’s support of a variety of different terrorist groups,” Stoltenberg said. “At the meeting today, allies called for restraint and de-escalation. A new conflict would be in no one’s interest. So, Iran must refrain from further violence and provocations.

Despite anger last year among European NATO allies over US strategy in the Middle East under President Donald Trump, two diplomats present confirmed that the two-hour meeting at NATO headquarters went smoothly.

They said that no envoy challenged the US State Department and Department of Defense officials, who briefed via video conference, over the merits of Friday’s drone raid.

There was also no discussion or criticism of Trump’s list of targets, which include cultural sites, if Iran were to retaliate with attacks on Americans or US assets, the diplomats said.

The meeting, which took place on a day of a huge outpouring of national grief for Soleimani in Iran, centered mainly on NATO’s decision to suspend its training mission in Iraq, after an Iraqi parliamentary resolution called on foreign troops to leave.

While there was concern that the killing of Iran’s second-most powerful man could trigger a conflagration in the Middle East, France, Germany, and others said they wanted the Iraq mission to continue.

“It would send the wrong signal if we withdraw,” one NATO diplomat said.

The NATO Iraq mission, made up of several hundred trainers, advisers and support staff from both countries of the 29-member alliance and non-NATO partner countries, includes military and civilian personnel.

Established in Baghdad in October 2018 after three years of war against ISIL (ISIS) fighters, the mission is a non-combat “train-and-advise” mission to help Iraqi security structures and institutions fend off future insurgencies. Its personnel do not deploy with Iraqi forces during operations.

“It’s still not clear what will happen with NATO’s mission in Iraq,” said Al Jazeera’s Natacha Butler, reporting from Brussels.

“NATO forces … suspended training operations for security reasons on Saturday. Iraqi lawmakers have requested foreign troops to leave the country.”

Lol... Before nko??

Iran (Assyria + Babylon) has no chance

Nato with UN support was defeated in korea. US and it's allies suffered humiliating defeats in Vietnam. They've been battling taliban for decades in Afghanistan yet taliban still controls lots of territories in Afghanistan.
And if you think Russia will allow its strongest ally in the middle east to be defeated and US/NATO having bases in the country which borders Russian and thereby creating another frontline from which another attack can be launched against Russia in future, then you must be delusional.

You know nothing.
He said Nato was defeated in Korea and USA disgraced in Afghanistan and Vietnam.

Boy the United States of America alone in one or two weeks will wipe out Iran, Korea and Taliban from the surface of this Earth, they do not even need the support of Nato or UN.

There is a difference between fighting terrorist groups than fighting a direct war with Nuclear weapon weapons with a country.

This is what even Russia and China will avoid at all cost because it will mark the end of the world even before the last triumpet.

This is why instead of Russia to support Iran and wage a war against USA and Nato. They will gladly withdraw and hope to seek for Negotiation. They might openly criticize America which is just to deceive the media but deep down, they have negotiated with America.

Iran will be no more in the map of the Earth if they strike back and they know it.

It's like Libya waging a war with NIGERIA.
Who do you think Ghana, Cameroon, Senegal, south Africa will support?

Let's pipe down...there won't be war.

Trump is just laying the law showing the world who is in charge...

I remember my muslim friends calling him...

Retarded
Stupid
Idiot
Drump etc

This retarded man controlled the most powerful military in the world...

While playing golf, he just killed the most power celebrated dangerous army general in the middle east..

He is a bastard with millions of voters, a dumb who escaped many politician witchhunt in history...

Sorry who is actually dumb between him and his enemies?

If his enemies are actually as smart as they think they are, they would leave him and let him finish his tenure without lookin for his trouble...

Trump is not a nice person...I hope our muslims brothers would be aware by now.

Muslims rely on democrats to save their asssses when they cause trouble...

But democrats can't stop him from attacking iran anytime he wants...

As a president he has the power to engage the enemy for 60 days before seeking congress approval...

Congress can later rule for him to disengage...

60 days is a long year for potent America military....

B-52 bombers can unload tons of explodes enormous enough to take out major cities in Iran under a week.

My advice to muslims...leave this mad man alone..mind ur business

That is a lesson to you that Islam will not rule the world any century soon...China, Russia and other next rated world power are not islamic countries

Me am just waiting for any new COD game.

Make I participate in this WW3

As expected!

I want to test your knowledge of international politics with this question.

"What will Russia do if US/NATO go to war with Iran"?

It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
not the National .

The same thing they did in Syria to make sure Assad is still the president even after all other European and American countries wanted to remove him. You know almost all of syria is now under the control after fighting against rebels recieving western weapons, intelligence and funding.
