The United States changed its military plans for protecting its
control over oil and other interests in the Arabian Peninsula in the
late 1980s when it became clear that economic problems in the
USSR were debilitating its military capacity and Soviet forces
withdrew from Afghanistan. Thereafter, direct military domination
within the region became the U.S. strategy.

With the decline in U.S. oil production through 1989, experts
predicted U.S. oil imports from the Gulf would rise from 10% that
year to 25% by the year 2000. Japanese and European
dependency is much greater
