It would be easier to explain why NATO invaded Iraq if it actually had. :-) The Coalition invaded Iraq.

NATO, as such (not just NATO members operating outside of the alliance) conducted a couple different (all non-combat, training and capacity development) military missions in Iraq. IIRC one from 2004-2011ish and one starting around 2018, maybe something in between.
