...built, Iran-bound missile boat off the coast of Spain demonstrated that the small royalist faction led by former General Bahram Aryana remains alive, but it proves little else: the ship was surrendered to France and ultimately sent to the Iranian government, after bobbing around off the port of Cadiz for a week. Shahpour Bahktiar, the French-educated politician who was jailed by the Shah but then served as his last Prime Minister, lives in exile outside Paris; he has no sizable following. Within Iran, most opposition groups now tacitly support the Mujahedin. The pro-Soviet Tudeh (Communist) Party...
...bold act of piracy was as bizarre as it was successful. As three spanking new Iranian missile boats steamed leisurely in the Atlantic Ocean off the southern Spanish port of Cadiz last week, they were pursued by a slow-going Spanish tugboat.

Because the Amoco Cadiz's oil is lighter and was released closer to the French shore than that from the Torrey Canyon, which blackened the English coast a decade ago, it had spread faster and penetrated deeper into Brittany's many inlets and estuaries. Even farther out to sea many food fish, except possibly sole, which stay near the bottom, will be contaminated. The season...
