NATO has temporarily suspended training mission in Iraq. Senior military official described it to me as more of a temporary pause out of due diligence to asses the Iraqi reaction. No sense, as of right now, that this is leading up to pulling troops #Cdnfp #Soleimani #cdnpoli #CAF
I am told by a senior source that Operation Impact (which includes the special forces mission) has not paused, only NATO. #cdnpoli #CAF #Soleimani #cdnfp #NATO
So that means a number of Canadian troops are still active in Iraq (Op Impact: train, advise, assist) #cdnpoli #cdnfp #CAF #Soleimani
The NATO mission is more Baghdad centric the SR official notes it requires a more permissive environment to work. The concern for troops on that mission: potential Shia reaction to the strikes. could become an issue, so far has not been source says #cdnpoli #cdnfp #CAF #Soleimani
UPDATE: the Minister of National Defence has released a statement saying all Canadian military training activities in Iraq both NATO and Op Impact are now temporarily suspended. Does not comment on advise and assist part of mission #Cdnpoli #CAF #Cdnfp #Soleimani
