Was Grenada invasion considered a war?

The Grenada invasion, known as Operation Urgent Fury, was a U.S.-led military intervention in October 1983, aimed at restoring a pro-U.S. government following a coup. While it involved combat, it is often classified as a military operation rather than a formal war, as it was not declared by Congress and lasted only a few weeks. The intervention faced criticism for its legality and humanitarian implications, but the U.S. government justified it as necessary for regional stability and the protection of American citizens.
