U S and Soviet gulf unity strains over Kuwait crisis
The United States vows to defy Iraqi orders to close its Kuwait embassy as Gulf tensions rise. President Bush orders 40,000 reservists to active duty and ships move toward the Red Sea. Soviet experts remain in Iraq, aiding with weapons maintenance though not operations. The UN embargo faces slow approval from Moscow, while U S and allied ships shadow Iraqi vessels. Bush informs Congress leaders of the executive order directing further military augmentation.
