This military operation was aimed at degrading Iraq's ability to produce weapons of mass destruction in response to the country's refusal to comply with United Nations weapons inspections. The strikes targeted various military sites and infrastructure believed to be connected to Iraq's weapons programs. The operation highlighted ongoing tensions between Iraq and the international community regarding disarmament and compliance with UN resolutions.

In 1998, the US and Britain launched a four-day airstrike against Iraq, known as Operation Desert Fox. This military action aimed to degrade Iraq's capability to produce weapons of mass destruction and to enforce compliance with United Nations resolutions. The strikes were prompted by Iraq's failure to cooperate with UN weapons inspectors and its ongoing defiance of international mandates. The operation involved extensive bombing campaigns targeting military sites and infrastructure.
