In 1990, Saudi Arabia was fearful of Iraq primarily due to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, which raised concerns about Saddam Hussein's ambitions to dominate the Gulf region. The potential expansion of Iraqi power posed a direct threat to Saudi Arabia's security and its vast oil reserves. Additionally, the Gulf War heightened fears of a destabilized Middle East, prompting Saudi Arabia to seek military support from the United States and its allies to counter the Iraqi threat.
