Would Iran attacking US forces in the region count for art 5 of NATO?

[–] King_Simp@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

In a logical world, no. For instance the war in Iraq didnt trigger article 5. But in Bizzarro "it's only bad when they bomb us back" world possibly. The UK has said something to the affect because they are gods 3rd greatest mistake

“For the purpose of Article 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack:

on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France 2, on the territory of Turkey or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer;

on the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the Parties, when in or over these territories or any other area in Europe in which occupation forces of any of the Parties were stationed on the date when the Treaty entered into force or the Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer.”
