No, by definition the invasion of Iraq was a state on state attack, pursuant to geneva accords and conventional warfare roe's.



There are reasonable arguments that it was an illegal war (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_the_Iraq_War )

Even so, i dont think any invasion by a recognized state by uniformed armed forces can really reasonably be called terrorism. Usually terrorism is a term reserved for non state actors or state actors which use non uniformed people .
