When the big players leave the room, does it mean an explosion is imminent? In a move that raises many questions, NATO decided to "temporarily" withdraw its advisory mission from Iraq as the Middle East goes up in flames. Security sources told "Dijla Point News" that the mission evacuated the Union III base in Baghdad for safety reasons, leaving behind only a skeleton crew. Despite official assurances of no rifts with Baghdad, the timing of this withdrawal—from the heart of a zone where rockets and drones are raining down—sends a clear signal: the region has entered maximum danger mode.
