Soviet aircraft in Afghanistan to increase tension, U.S. says
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Administration officials said yesterday that the deployment of new Soviet aircraft and missiles in Afghanistan will increase tensions in the region. The U.S. defense secretary, states "remains unshakeable" in its support of the Mujahedeen rebels and neighboring Pakistan.
White House and State Department officials voiced new alarms following the display in Kabul of Soviet SS-1 Scud missiles, and after the United States already had protested, on Monday, the introduction of advanced Soviet aircraft in Afghanistan.
Pakistan's Western frontier is within range of the missiles, supplied by the Soviets to government forces in Afghanistan. Charles Redman, State Department spokesman, said, "If the purpose of these latest military developments is to threaten Pakistan, the Soviet Union knows that Pakistan enjoys our full support in this situation."

Iran, Iraq agree to step up talks
GENEVA — Iran and Iraq agreed yesterday to step up the pace of their U.N.-mediated peace talk, acknowledging what U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar termed a "sense of urgency."
Speaking briefly to reporters after the meeting, the U.N. chief said this reflected a "sense of urgency" and showed that Iran's Ali Akbar Velayat and Iraq's Tariq Aziz were interested in moving forward toward a lasting settlement of the 8-year-old war.
In the first direct meeting since early October, the two foreign ministers accepted Perez de Cuellar's proposal that all future negotiating sessions be held jointly.

Under a 1975 treaty, which Iraq repudiated five years later, the border runs down the middle of the waterway. The Iraqis want it moved to Iran's shore, where it was before the treaty.
The Shatt-al-Arab, which Iran calls the Arvand River, was closed soon after the war began in September 1980 and is blocked by stranded ships, unexploded shells and accumulated silt. Iraq has pressed for dredging to begin immediately while negotiation.
