Nuri Jamil

Nuri Jamil moved from the Iraqi army into diplomacy after a career that included teaching at and commanding the Baghdad Staff College. A U.S. biographical briefing records ambassadorial assignments in Afghanistan, India, and Italy before his return to Baghdad as a foreign ministry undersecretary in 1966. ¹

Washington granted agrément for his proposed appointment in February 1967, but the credential chronology does not record a presentation. In Baghdad early on 7 June, Jamil instead informed the American chargé that Iraq had broken relations with the United States and Britain. ^{2, 3}
