Military resistance in Iraq

Military resistance in Iraq refers to efforts by various groups, including insurgents and some Iraqi factions, to oppose and challenge occupying forces and the Iraqi government. This resistance has included attacks on military personnel, infrastructure, and government targets, often motivated by political, religious, or nationalist reasons. It emerged strongly after the 2003 US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein, and has persisted due to issues like sectarian divisions, desire for sovereignty, and opposition to foreign presence. The resistance has evolved over time, blending guerrilla tactics with political aims, significantly impacting security and stability in Iraq.
