I think from the context of the letters, the mentioned 1st Gulf war is what we call operation Desert Storm. Also the Iraqis had different name for the wars they fought under Saddam. For example they called the war with Iran “The Glorified Qadisia of Saddam” and they called Operation Desert storm “The Mother of All Battles” or “The Thirties Aggression” referring to the alliance of the 30 nations against Iraq in operation Desert Storm. These names of the wars had been used in many Iraqi documents.
You may very well be right.
What I find a bit maddening is the way they archive their daily releases.There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason !
Also today, they had some videos I wanted to look at, but the links were dead.
