The reason is due to CODON5 datatype. Please change all CODON5 to DNA and it should work.

#nexus
begin sets;
charset part1 = DNA, 1-657\3;
charset part2 = DNA, 2-657\3;
charset part3 = DNA, 3-657\3;
charset part4 = DNA, 659-1399;
end;

If you want to know the reason: For CODON data types IQ-TREE will use codon models, which need the full coding sequence in the partition to convert every tri-nucleotide into non-stop codon states and apply a 61x61 substitution matrix for the analysis.
However, you have partitioned the data into codon positions, each will be modelled using a DNA substitution model. Therefore you have to use DNA datatype for all partitions.

Note: I don't know why your partiti…
