History

Historical Context

In 1990-91 the UN authorized a 42-nation coalition, led by the United States, to expel Iraq from Kuwait after Resolution 678 (29 Nov 1990). The force secured the Strait of Hormuz and deployed about 700,000 U.S. troops. Prime Minister Narendra Modi now calls that multilateral model, urging dialogue with France, Italy, Brazil, the European Commission, the United Kingdom and the United States to stabilize Hormuz.
