Iraq War Inquiry

The Iraq War Inquiry was a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the 2003 invasion of Iraq by coalition forces. It examined decision-making processes, intelligence assessments, and political motives to determine if the war was justified and lawful. The inquiry aimed to clarify whether ministers, officials, and intelligence agencies provided accurate information and adhered to legal and ethical standards. Its purpose was to understand what happened, hold accountable where necessary, and learn lessons to prevent future conflicts. The investigation produced reports that highlighted successes, errors, and areas needing reform in how such major military actions are authorized and managed.
