Operation Iraqi Freedom began in March 2003 primarily due to the U.S. government's belief that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and posed a threat to global security. Additionally, the U.S. aimed to dismantle Saddam Hussein's regime, which was accused of supporting terrorism and violating human rights. The operation also sought to promote democracy in Iraq and stabilize the region. However, the absence of discovered WMDs later led to significant controversy regarding the legitimacy of the invasion.
