Iranians promise to retaliate
The Associated Press
MANANA, Bahrain — Iran will strike back and make the United States regret the Navy shelling that destroyed two oil platforms in the Persian Gulf, Iranian leaders said yesterday.
Hashemi Rafsanjani, speaker of the Iranian Parliament and one of Iran's most powerful leaders, said his vow of retaliation was not a threat but a reality.
Prime Minister Hussein Musavi said that compromise was impossible and that Iran would retaliate for the U.S. attack, Irani's official news agency reported. Iranus was quoted as saying, "After we deal our reprisal blow, we will call it quits."
The 12th U.S. escorted convoy set out yesterday, one day after the invasion of Iraq, in three forms, moving south from Kuwait on the 530-mile voyage out of the gulf.
An Iranian shuttle tanker reported sighting a mine in a busy channel 40 miles off 'iran's coast, shipping whether any action was taken.
It included two reflagged Kuwaiti tankers and the guided-missile frigate USS Ford, the Pentagon said.
Sources in Kuwait said eight to 10 artillery rounds exploded at Umm al-Aish, a Kuwait oil-drilling camp near the Iraqi border.
Kuwait's Defense Ministry confirmed that artillery shells fell in the area but said there were no casualties or damage. The Kuwait news agency quoted a ministry spokesman as saying the shells apparently were fired during artillery duels between Iran and Iraq, which have been at war seven years. The warfront is about 25 miles away.
Gulf shipping executives, speaking on condition of anonymity, said commerCIAL traffic in the waterway appeared normal after Monday's attack by U.S. Navy destroyers on oil-irig platforms in the south-central Gulf.
Shels demolished two platforms in the Rostam oilfield in an 85-minute bombardment. The 25 to 30 Iranians on the platforms were given time to evacuate Tan'is oil minister said the attack caused about $500 million damage.
U. S. military sources said three of the destroyers that were brought into the gulf for the attack sailed back through the Strait of Hormuz to rejoin their Navy battle groups in the Arabian Sea.
The fourth ship, the missile destroyer Kidd, is part of the Navy force escorting 11 Kuwati tankers registered in the United States and flying the U.S. flag.
Reagan to consider tax increase
From The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, after ordering the start of cuts of $23 billion in automatic spending under the Gramm-Rudman law, said yesterday he would prefer cutting the deficit through a budget compromise with Congress and indicated for the first time he might consider a tax increase.
The Associated Press
Reagan's remarks came after a meeting with his top economic advisers and followed calls from the bipartisan congressional leadership for action in the wake of Monday's stock market crash.
"I presented in my budget a program that provided for $22 billion in additional revenue, which was not necessarily taxes. And I'm willing to look at whatever proposal they might have." Reagan said in response to a question about whether he'd compromise with the Democrats, who propose a tax increase to reduce the deficit.
"I am willing to be a participant in anything that can bring us together," the president said, telling reporters he was immediately ordering his aides to open discussions with the leaders of the House and Senate.
The revenues in the president's budget included some government asset sales along with taxes that the administration considers "user fees."
After Reagan's statement, White House spokesman Martin Pilgrim water appeared to try to soften the presidential threat.
"He does not envision tax increases as a part of the (definit) solution. He said he's willing to hear their proposals (from Congress) but he does not envision a tax increase as being a part of the final package," he said.
Air Force jet crashes into hotel; nine dead
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — An Air Force jet lost power short of a runway at the Indianapolis International Airport yesterday, clipped a bank building and exploded in a fireball into a crowded seven-story hotel. At least nine people were killed.
The dead were found in the lobby and first-floor meeting rooms of the Ramada Inn Airport hotel, where the A7-D Corsair came to rest. The accident occurred at 9:15 a.m. and firefighters, some of whom saw the crash, were on the scene within two minutes.
The pilot, identified as Maj. Bruce L. Teagarden, 35 of Las Vegas, Nev., ejected at about 800 feet, Mayor William Hudut said at a news conference. Teagarden was treated and released at Methodist Hospital.
"The only thing I saw was devastation," said a witness, John Mentzer. "If anyone was in the lobby area they are gone. It was like a napalm bomb. The heat, the flames. It collapsed the whole front of the building."
Indianapolis Fire Capt. Gary Campbell said the bodies were charred beyond recognition.
At Ramada Inn headquarters in Phoenix, Ariz., spokesman Dave Thompson said there were 155 rooms in the hotel and 105 registered guests. "About half of those had checked out before the crash occurred," he said.
