Answer: Saddam Hussein.
Step-by-step explanation:
After the gulf war (1991), Irak was demanded, as terms of peace, the recognization of Kuwait’s sovereignty, as well as the dispossal of all weapons of mass destruction. If not, economic sanctions would continue.
Iraq didn't cooperate with inspectors, so hostilities resumed through Operation Desert Fox in 1998. By 2003, Saddam refused the United States and the United Kingdom´s ultimatum demanding he stepped down from power and leave Iraq. Thus, the Iraq War started.
