Answer: A) Iraq's army invaded Kuwait.

Explanation: Months after Iraq's army invaded Kuwait. in 1990, the US - and allied forces - invaded Kuwait to drive out the Iraqi army. The fear was that Hussein would next invade Saudi Arabia, affecting regional alliances with the United States. There was never, at that time, any talk of Hussein's support of terrorism or his alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction.
