How to set a field value from parent template in Twig?

I have node--article--teaser.html.twig which calls image-formatter.html.twig to printout the field_image. Everything works fine except that I don’t want the field_image itself to be a linked. i.e image-formatter.html.twig should not find a url to only print an img tag.

I have tried the following in node--article--teaser.html.twig:

{#{ content }#}   {% set content.field_image[0]['#url'] = null %}{% endset %}   {{ content.field_image }}     {{ label }} 

The second line causing the following error:

Twig_Error_Syntax: Unexpected token “punctuation” of value “.” (“end of statement block” expected) in “themes/saidbakr/templates/node–article–teaser.html.twig” at line 78. in Twig_TokenStream->expect() (line 87 of vendortwigtwiglibTwigTokenStream.php).

While {{ content.field_image[0]['#url'] }} prints the url without any problems!

The image-formatter.html.twig code is as the following:

{% if url %}   <a href="{{ url }}">{{ image }}</a> {% else %}   {{ image }} {% endif %} 

There is no any suggestion from twig debug about any alternative template for image-formatter.html.twig

Also using Theme Hook image_formatter as saidbakr_preprocess_image_formatter will not be an option because it is not possible to know the view context, i.e teaser or full, or content types to restrict this interaction for articles type. I think that the most simple way is from Twig, but how?!
