Operation Iraqi Freedom was launched in March 2003 with the primary purpose of toppling Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. The U.S. government justified the invasion by claiming that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and posed a significant threat to global security. Additionally, the operation aimed to promote democracy and stabilize the region, although the anticipated WMDs were never found, leading to widespread debate about the legitimacy and consequences of the invasion.
