2003年3月20日，以美英军队为主的联合部队，对伊拉克发动军事行动，这场战争让伊拉克20多万无辜百姓死亡。

美国以伊拉克藏有大规模杀伤性武器，并暗中支持恐怖分子为由，绕开联合国安理会，单方面对伊拉克实施军事打击。

由于是海湾战争的延续，因此伊拉克战争为第二次海湾战争。到2010年8月美国战斗部队撤出伊拉克为止，历时7年多，美方最终没有找到大规模杀伤性武器，反而以侯赛因政权早已销毁的文件和人证为由，结束了战争。 2011年12月18日，美军全部撤出。

伊拉克战争实质上是美国借反恐时机，以伊拉克拒绝交出生化武器为借口，趁机清除反美政权的一场战争。由于伊拉克战争使用大量的美国现代化新式武器，加上美军使用的武器费用非常高昂，总军费高达7630亿美元（约3.09兆令吉）。
