Causes of the conflict. Two Iraqi tanks lie abandoned near Kuwait City on February 26, 1991. Kuwait was a close ally of Iraq during the Iraq-Iran war and functioned as the countryâs major port once Basra was shut down by the fighting.
The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990 prompted the Gulf War, but  this event was made possible by the end of the Cold War in 1989.  The basis for the Iraqi annexation of Kuwaâ¦it goes back to the end  of World War 1, when Kuwait was not included as a part of Iraq.
