Bj United Press International
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Twenty invaders believed to be Kurdish separatists burst into the Iranian Embassy yesterday, fought a pitched battle with staff members, beat the ambassador and seized the building until police broke in and arrested them.
It was the second time in five months that the mission was invaded
and Ambassador Hosseyn Tajgard-
doon injured.
Tajigardoon, treated at a hospital for a head wound and released, warned that relations between Tehran and The Hague could be affected unless the Dutch government provided better protection for the embassy.
"IT IS THE SECOND time since April that terrorists and theives have broken in here." Tajgardoon, surveying a torn post of Ayatollah
embassy." "They broke in here, abusing the government of Iran and said our embassy was a terrorist niche."

two other people. An embassy worker called authorities for help, a police spokesman said.
"When our men arrived, they found there was fighting going on inside the building and immediately surrounded it," the spokesman said.
HE SAID THE FRONT door was locked "but we managed to find a fire escape near the back. Some officers entered that way, and others entered through the window. The fighting was pretty rough (but) we managed to break it up."
It took police seven minutes to subdue the intruders and end the
occupation, which lasted about 20 minutes, the spokesman said.
Police said the intruders were believed to be tranian Kurds, members of an ethnic minority living in a swath of land that stretches from eastern Turkey, through northern Syria, Iraq, Iran and into the Soviet Union.
The Kurds, who make up 5 percent of the Iranian population, have been fighting for generations for a separate homeland.
Arab states pressure Jordan
By United Press International
AMMAN, Jordan — Jordan yesterday defended its decision to restore diplomatic relations with Egypt and countered sharp criticism from Saudi Arabia and Syria by declaring it was still opposed to the 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.
The Jordanian statement conceived with the arrival in Amman of Egyptian presidential envoy Osama el Baz for meetings with King Hussein and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat on a new Middle East peace initiative.
Information Minister Leila Shafar said Jordan hoped to convene a Middle East peace conference with the participation of all concerned parties, including the Palestine Liberation Organization, the United States and the Soviet Union.
"The resumption of Jordanian-Egyptian relations will strengthen efforts to convene such a conference, and we will therefore have taken a step forward in that direction," she said.
Syria yesterday angrily denounced the Jordanian move, charging it was a conspiracy to enter into a "new Camp David"
accord with Israel and the United States and warning it had the means to punish any state that violated Arab summit resolutions.
Saudi Arabia also joined Syria in denouncing Jordan's decision to break ranks with the heirs of nations that supported relations with Israel in 1979 following an Arab summit that condemned it for making peace with Israel.
r president Reagan congratulated Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in a telegram calling the resumption of relations a "historic step" that he hoped would "lead to a new stage of joint efforts" aimed at achieving peace in the region.
Nicaraguan leader refuses request to delay elections
By United Press International
Nicaraguan junta leader Daniel Ortega yesterday refused an opposition request to postpone the Nov. 4 elections until 1985, saying a delay would allow a re-elected President Reagan to continue his "destructive policies."
"We have decided very categorically that the date is unchangeable." Ortega said at a breakfast for the press.
In Manzanillo, Mexico, the United States and Nicaragua, in their sixth set of discussions aimed at easing
tensions, concluded two days of talks Wednesday, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City said. Neither side issued any public statement on the talks.
Ortega's blunt statement ended speculation that the government might accept the opposition demand to postpone the elections. Ortega is also a presidential candidate for the ruling Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN).
Hours earlier, the official government news agency, Nueva Nicaragua, said that it was possible that the date for the elections might be postponed.

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Druse Muslim militiamen and paramilitary police searched west Beirut for an explosives-packed car yesterday amid fears of new terrorist attacks against western embassies in Beirut.
An edgy Lebanese guard at the U.S. Embassy in west Beirut fired a shot over the heads of an NBC television crew, narrowly missing the network's chief Beirut correspondent, a network spokeswoman孟
"They certainly knew we were a film crew. We were at the top of the hill doing a stand-up and they just took a pot shot at us," said NBC producer Heather Allen.
said NBC producer Heather Fuchs. "The bullet passed 50 feet over chief correspondent Bonnie Anderson's head," she said.
The embassy declined to comment on the shooting.
in a separate development, the National Resistance Front guerrilla group operating in southern Lebanon called for the unconditional withdrawal of Israeli troops from that area.
