BACKGROUND - 

Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) stands as one of the most significant military campaigns of the early 21st century, marking a pivotal moment in global geopolitics and reshaping the landscape of the Middle East. Launched in March 2003 by a coalition led by the United States, OIF aimed to topple the regime of Saddam Hussein, dismantle Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs, and promote democracy and stability in the region. 

The operation followed years of escalating tensions between Iraq and the international community, fueled by suspicions of WMD development, human rights abuses, and Iraq's defiance of United Nations resolutions. As troops surged into Iraq, OIF quickly evolved into a multifaceted conflict, characterized by intense combat operations, nation-building efforts, and protracted insurgency. The operation sparked widespread debate and controversy, eliciting diverse opinions on its legality, strategic rationale, and long-term consequences.
