More information:

This is on Highway One. As there were no signs of damage, the tank was probably bulldozed into this position by coalition forces to clear the road. Following the US-led invasion in March 2003, the Americans went on to occupy Iraq for eight years as part of a multi-national force, their troops finally departing in 2011.
