Contributing nations for the Coalition for Operation Desert Storm was built up during OPERATION DESERT SHIELD in 1990. There were NO "Hostilites" in 1990. 1990 was a year of "telling Iraq to leave Kuwait", while building up military forces to remove him, when he finally refused to leave Kuwait. The deadline was Jan 1991. Jan 1991 commenced the HOSTILE portion; Operation Desert Storm. Feb 1991 termination of Operation Desert Storm. Feb 1991 mission complete/Iraq Removed.

Oil production in Iraq dropped
intelligence reports indicated that Iraq was planning a major terrorist attack in the United States
INSPECTIONS allowed the US to determine WHAT was in Iraq.
The First Gulf war
The first Iraq war was one of the shortest conflicts the US was ever involved in. It began on January 17, 1991.
Oil production in Iraq dropped
we just sarted to bomb the mess out of them
Bin Laden did attack us not Iraq
Iraq was attacked in 2003, during the initial phase of Operation Iraq Freedom, to remove Saddam from power. Since his removal, Iraq is no longer under attack from the US. The US is attempting to RESTORE law, order, and stability to the region. The US is at war with no "nation." Only criminals (Global War on Terrorism).
The first was over Iraq taking Kuwait. The second was an attempt by US to reduce Iraq's military power.

intelligence reports indicated that Iraq was planning a major terrorist attack in the United States
No. Mexico never joined the coalition to attack Iraq.
The question as worded is nonsensical. There is only "one Iraq country", Iraq and it attacked Arabs in 1990. If you are asking "Which Arab country did Iraq attack in 1990?" the answer is Kuwait.
The Army had units in Iraq first. US Army Special Forces were in Iraq before the war even began. As for the ground offensive, it was a simultaneous push - the border was crossed at several points simultaneously by both Army and Marine personnel, although I believe the first line unit fully across the border into Iraq was an Army unit. The first actual strike of the war, however, was dealt by the Air Force.
In 1990
Kuwait.
