Operation Iraqi Freedom was a military campaign launched by the United States and coalition forces in March 2003, aimed at overthrowing the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The operation was justified by claims that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and posed a threat to regional stability. The initial phase of the conflict resulted in the rapid capture of Baghdad and the toppling of Hussein's government, but the subsequent occupation led to a protracted insurgency and significant challenges in rebuilding Iraq. The operation officially ended in December 2011, but its consequences continued to impact the region for years to come.

One of the official goals of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 was to disarm Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), which the U.S. and its allies believed were being developed and could pose a threat to regional and global security. Additionally, the operation aimed to remove Saddam Hussein from power, promote democracy in Iraq, and ensure the country's stability and security.
The US led Coalition in Operation Enduring Freedom, in Afghanistan, is an ongoing military campaign, that commenced in 2001. And is a direct result of the September 11, 2001 attack.
Operation Iraqi Freedom involved a coalition led by the United States, which included key allies such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland. The operation began in March 2003 with the goal of toppling the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, based on claims of weapons of mass destruction and links to terrorism. Various military branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, along with coalition forces, participated in the combat operations. The operation resulted in significant military and civilian casualties and led to a prolonged period of instability in Iraq.
They're two different things. Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) is obviously the war in Iraq. Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) is the war in Afghanistan.
