Question

arab forces most likely fought with the united states in the gulf war because
they wanted greater us influence in the gulf.
they had a longstanding alliance with the united states
they hoped to invade iraq for its oil supplies.
they wanted to protect their own resources.

Explanation:

The Gulf War was sparked by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, which threatened the oil resources and regional security of neighboring Arab states. Arab forces joined the U.S.-led coalition to safeguard their own oil reserves and political stability, not to invite more U.S. influence, due to a longstanding alliance (many had only recent, transactional partnerships), or to invade Iraq for oil.

Answer:

they wanted to protect their own resources.
