World leaders were concerned about Saddam Hussein gaining control of Middle Eastern oil due to the potential for increased regional instability and threats to global energy supplies. As the leader of Iraq, he had access to some of the world's largest oil reserves, which could empower him to exert significant influence over oil prices and production levels. This control could also embolden aggressive military actions, destabilizing neighboring countries and impacting global economies reliant on oil imports. Additionally, such power in the hands of a dictator raised fears of geopolitical tensions and conflicts, particularly given the strategic importance of oil in international relations.

Britain promised Sharif Hussein of Mecca support in establishing an independent Arab state in exchange for his assistance in revolting against the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
