The United Nations inspection team was in Iraq from 1991 to 1998 primarily to locate and eliminate weapons of mass destruction (WMD), including chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. This initiative followed Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and was part of the broader efforts to ensure compliance with UN Security Council resolutions. The inspections aimed to verify disarmament and prevent Iraq from reconstituting its WMD capabilities.
