America and Iraq's enmity can be traced back to the Gulf War in 1990-1991, when Iraq, led by Saddam Hussein, invaded Kuwait, prompting a U.S.-led coalition to intervene militarily to restore Kuwaiti sovereignty. Tensions escalated further after the September 11 attacks in 2001, with the U.S. government accusing Iraq of possessing weapons of mass destruction and having ties to terrorism. This culminated in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which aimed to depose Saddam Hussein but ultimately led to prolonged conflict and instability, deepening animosities between the two nations. The aftermath of the invasion and the subsequent rise of sectarian violence further entrenched the adversarial relationship.
