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.

NATO Mission Iraq (NMI) is currently lead by France.

Nato was mobilized for Afghanistan.

  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.

    without Article 5
    
    I already linked with sources that Article 5 was invoked and Afghanistan was a NATO mission, not the US and some allies.

    Article 5 was not invoked on Afghanistan, Article 5 was invoked over a year possibly 2 years prior after 9/11 which was not perpetrated by Afghanistan.
