I can't remember the resolution numbers but.
A UN resolution was passed ordering Iraq to let in Weapons Inpsectors (weapons inspectors had not been allowed in by Iraq since 1998/99) The resolution warned Iraq of consequences if they did not comply.
Iraq did not comply and therefore suffered the consequences.
A simplistic version but essentially correct.
