Blair is sorry for the mistakes in Iraq war – level 2

04-11-2015 15:00

Tony Blair admitted that the 2003 Iraq invasion played a role in the rise of the Islamic State. In an interview with CNN, he also apologised for mistakes made in the war.

The excuse for the Iraq invasion was that there was information that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Blair said that the information was false, and he expressed his regret.

There is an investigation about the Iraq war. Soon, people will publish the results.

Difficult words: excuse (a reason for something), express (to say), regret (a feeling of sadness).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
