Te whakaekenga o Iraq ki Kuwait i te 2 o Akuhata 1990, he roopu hoia o te Hauauru i tohaina hei tiaki i Kuwait me Saudi Arabia mai i Ba'athist Iraq. Ahakoa i angitu te Pakanga o te Moana-a-Kiwa i te whakaoranga o Kuwait, he maha nga kaiarahi hoia me nga kaitōrangapū o Amerika i karanga mo te whakaekenga katoa o Iraq ki te whakakapi i te rangatira o Iraqi a Saddam Hussein me te whakaheke i tana kawanatanga. Heoi, i te mutunga ka whakatau a Perehitini Bush kia kaua e whakaekehia katoatia a Iraki.
