The Kuwaiti Coast Guard seized a ship for allegedly violating the United Nations embargo on Iraq. The ship had seven crew members from India and Pakistan on board. This incident highlights the ongoing effort by the international community to enforce the embargo, which was put in place following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. The embargo was aimed at preventing Iraq from importing or exporting goods that could be used for military purposes. Despite the embargo, there have been reports of goods and resources being smuggled into Iraq, which has been a source of tension between Iraq and other countries in the region.
