Iraqi insurgency

The Iraqi insurgency refers to a period of ongoing armed resistance in Iraq following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. Various groups, including former regime loyalists, religious extremists, and nationalist factions, used guerrilla tactics like bombings, ambushes, and sabotage against coalition forces and Iraqi government targets. The insurgency was fueled by political instability, sectarian divisions, and foreign influence, leading to widespread violence, destabilization, and difficulties in establishing security and governance in Iraq during that time.
