Yes but neither Iraq or Afghanistan were responsible for those attacks so NATO has never been mobilized. The US invasion of Iraq, as you already stated before, was not agreed upon by several NATO members including France.
So you’re saying NATO was mobilized without Article 5 even though NATO members voluntarily enterred Afghanistan? You seem to not understand what NATO is, it is a mutual defense pact that forces its members to participate in a war when one member is attacked, and that has never happened.

NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history after the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States.
