Detailed explanation-1: -Along with Iraq’s alleged development of weapons of mass destructions, another justification for invasion was the purported link between Saddam Hussein’s government and terrorist organizations, in particular al-Qaeda. In that sense, the Bush administration cast the Iraq war as part of the broader War on Terrorism.
Detailed explanation-2: -The much-stated reason for the continued U.S. troop presence is to help Iraq battle the remnants of the Islamic State insurgency and prevent any resurgence.
Detailed explanation-3: -The US said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was a threat to international peace, but most countries refused to support military action against it.
Detailed explanation-4: -The invasion of Iraq was neither in self-defense against armed attack nor sanctioned by UN Security Council resolution authorizing the use of force by member states and thus constituted the crime of war of aggression, according to the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) in Geneva.
