There were three Gulf Wars in the 20th and 21st centuries:

1. Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988)

2. Operation Desert Storm (Jan/Feb 1991)

3. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003- )

No, there was only one Persian Gulf War in 1990-91.

1. The Iran-Iraq War was fought entirely between Iran and Iraq in 1980-88, and it did not affect oil exports in the Persian Gulf until the latter stages.

2. Desert Storm was not a war. It was an operation within the Gulf War. There were several operations in the Gulf War, but Desert Shield and Desert Storm were the main ones. In the Gulf War, Iraq faced an alliance of oil-producing and -consuming nations, but Iran was not one of them, as Iran remained neutral.

3. Current hostilities in Iraq and Afghanistan are not a gulf war either.
