Many oil-exporting countries joined the U.S. in opposing Iraq during the 1991 Persian Gulf War primarily due to concerns over regional stability and the protection of their own oil interests. Iraq's invasion of Kuwait threatened the balance of power in the Gulf and raised fears that Iraq might target other oil-rich nations. Additionally, the potential for disrupted oil supplies and skyrocketing prices motivated these countries to support a coalition aimed at restoring Kuwait's sovereignty. This collaboration was also influenced by the desire to maintain strong ties with the U.S., a key ally in global oil markets.
