...first time since the end of World War II, when the Soviets occupied Iran's northern province of Azerbaijan, that the Iranians had left their 1,090-mile border with the Soviet Union virtually unguarded. When King Hussein of Jordan visited Moscow late last month, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko told him that when the Iranian invasion of Iraq began, Moscow would be supporting Iran. It was the Soviet official's unsubtle way of hinting to Hussein that even though Jordan was Iraq's most faithful ally, the King would do well to remain on the sidelines of the forthcoming...
...authority to decide on answers. That can take place only at a higher level. Before he resigned two weeks ago, Secretary of State Alexander Haig had been busily setting up a "back channel" with the Soviet Ambassador in Washington, Anatoli Dobrynin, and a working relationship with Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. Haig had established himself as the Kremlin's principal point of contact on START. Now the Soviets are worried not only about Haig's departure, but about the possibility that Weinberger, who favored an even tougher stance on negotiations, will reassert himself...
...position, and he therefore set out to tighten restrictions on the pipeline. He called a meeting of the National Security Council in Washington on June 18-a day when, as he knew, Haig was scheduled to be in New York City conferring with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko.

The Europeans felt doublecrossed. Even British Prime Minister Margaret...
...that of the U.N. delegates but the one adopted by the Soviet Union. Presidential aides dismiss any thought that the harsh tone of Reagan's U.N. speech would sour the negotiating atmosphere. Indeed, Reagan was not the only tough talker last week. In his speech to the U.N., Gromyko accused the U.S. of showing a "militaristic frenzy" in its arms buildup and beaming this message to the world: "If you want peace, then it's full steam ahead for war." But when Gromyko met Secretary of State Alexander Haig for a five-hour discussion on Friday, the Soviet...
...third cut in strategic ballistic missile warheads by both the U.S. and U.S.S.R., to an equal level of 5,000 each-with the provision that only half of these could be on missiles fired from land. That in effect would force a restructuring of Soviet strategic forces, as Gromyko complained to the U.N. last week, since the Soviet Union now puts 70% of its missile firepower on land, vs. only...
