Operation Iraqi Freedom was launched in March 2003 primarily to dismantle the regime of Saddam Hussein, eliminate Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), and combat terrorism. The U.S. and its allies aimed to promote democracy and stability in Iraq and the broader Middle East. The operation was controversial, as the existence of WMDs was later disputed, leading to significant debate about the war's justification and consequences.
