Hussian may have declared war on Iran during the Gulf War (1980-1988); see that website. As far as the US is concerned, during any past operations in that region; the last Declared War fought by the US was WWII (December 11, 1941 to be exact against Germany/Italy).

World War 2 was the US's last declared war. The Korean War and Vietnam Wars were limited wars. Limited to region and limited to conventional weapons only; no atomic weapons were authorized. Operation Urgent Fury-1983, was to rescue US Citizens. Operation Just Cause-1989, was to arrest GEN Noriega from Panama. Operation Desert Storm-1991, was to eject Iraq from Kuwait. Operation Restore Hope-1993, was to help starving people in Somalia. Operation Iraqi Freedom-2003 to present, is to restore Law and Order and stability to Iraq.
