Question

How did the United Nations initially react after Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990?

It ordered an immediate U.N. invasion of Iraq.
It leveled a series of economic sanctions on Iraq.
It offered to broker a peace treaty to end the war.
It denounced Kuwait for causing the hostilities.

Answer 1

"It leveled a series of economic sanctions on Iraq." This is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Hi there!

The answer you are looking for is the second option: It levelled a series of economic sanctions on Iraq.

When Iraq invaded and occupied Kuwait in August 1990, a resolution condemning the invasion and demanding Iraq’s immediate and unconditional withdrawal its forces to the positions they had occupied the previous day was adopted. A few days later, mandatory arms and economic sanctions against Iraq were instituted.

Hope this helps!
