It was founded at the time of the Persian Gulf War as a resistance group to the rule of Saddam Hussein. At that time the two most active anti-Saddam groups were the SCIRI and al-Dawa both Shi'ite and based in and supported by Iran. This did not suit the western powers or Saudi Arabia, who had long poor relations with the Islamic Republic. The INA was thus set up to be an alternative, largely funded with money from Saudi Arabia and received support from Britain and the United States.

INA organized attacks in Iraq between 1992 and 1995 to demonstrate its capacities as a militant group, but these caused little damage to the regime. In August of 1995, Saddam's son-in-law, Hussein Kamel Majid authorized the INA to operate from Jordan after he defected to there. Unlike the INC strategy of fomenting revolution among Iraq's disaffected minorities INA felt the best way to remove Saddam was organizing a coup among Iraqi military and security services. To this end INA, in close cooperation with the CIA, was involved in a coup against Saddam in 1996. However, the INA had been infiltrated by agents loyal to Saddam, and in June, 1996, 30 Iraqi military officers were executed and 100 others were arrested for alleged ties to the INA.
