But after at least one of their planes was shot down last month by U.S.-made F-15s of the Saudi air force, the Iranians avoided attacking any vessels in a stretch of water from Kuwait to the tip of Qatar, an area that is watched by U.S. AWACS planes leased to the Saudis. Last week's strike on the Primrose came about 120 miles east of that zone...
