The United Nations imposed an embargo on Iraq in 1990 following its invasion of Kuwait. The embargo aimed to pressure Iraq to withdraw its forces and to restore Kuwait's sovereignty. It included restrictions on trade and economic activities, significantly impacting Iraq's economy and access to essential goods. The embargo remained in place for many years, even after the Gulf War, due to ongoing concerns about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and compliance with UN resolutions.
