After the handover of sovereignty, Operation Lightning was a major combined Iraqi/American counterinsurgency cordon-and-search operation announced on May 26, 2005. Iraqi security units established over 400 checkpoints throughout the city.

It followed Operation New Market and was followed by Operation Spear.
