During this period, operation Anchor Guard was established with airborne crafts operating from Turkey.This process yielded immediate results that saw the liberation of Kuwait on February 25, 1991. Iraq was then given an ultimatum to pull out by January 15, 1991, or face military action. UN Security Council demanded that Iraq withdraws from Kuwait unconditionally, but Iraq was not willing. Iraq received condemnation from most countries including Arab League. Within two days of Iraq’s attack on Kuwait, Saddam announced Kuwait as Iraq’s 19th province.
