No, Saddam Hussein did not formally declare war on the United States. The conflict between Iraq and the U.S. escalated primarily due to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990, which led to the Gulf War. The U.S. responded with military action to liberate Kuwait, and tensions continued following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which was justified by the U.S. on the grounds of eliminating weapons of mass destruction, although no such weapons were found.
