Listen "Iraq: 20 Years on"
Episode Synopsis
On March 20th 2003 the USA and the UK, alongside other allied countries invaded Iraq in order to remove Saddam Hussein and put an end to his program producing Weapons of Mass Destruction. Saddam was overthrown, but the weapons were never found.
20 years since the first troops landed in Iraq, the invasion and subsequent insurgency and political turmoil reshaped the entire Middle East and the foreign policy of the US. Recent developments in the beginning of 2023 however, may point at stabilization of relations between regional competitors.
