![The Iraq War (also known as the Occupation of Iraq,[40] the Second Gulf War,[41] Operation Iraqi Freedom,[42], the third Gulf War[43] and Operation New Dawn) is an ongoing[44] military campaign that began on March 20, 2003,[45][46] with the invasion of Iraq by a multinational force led by troops from the United States and the United Kingdom.[47]..Before the war, the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom claimed that Iraq's alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) posed a threat to their security and that of their coalition/regional allies.[48][49][50] In 2002, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1441 which called for Iraq to completely cooperate with UN weapon inspectors to verify that Iraq was not in possession of WMD and cruise missiles.
