Chilcot: Hopefully nothing like Iraq will ever happen again

The invasion of Iraq in 2003 has been described as the most politically divisive and internationally controversial war in British history.

Ahead of the release of the Chilcot Inquiry report, Sir John Chilcot told ITV News he hoped the report would mean nothing like the Iraq war ever happened again.

"The main expectation I have is that it will not be possible in future to engage in a military or indeed a diplomatic endeavor on such a scale and with such gravity without really careful challenge and analysis."
