Meanwhile, Iran is facing unexpected pressure from another quarter. The Soviet Union has lately voiced strong support in Pravda for the Iraqis, accusing the Iranians of resisting a negotiated settlement. "Tehran's intention to continue the war until 'victory is won' is obviously accompanied by chauvinistic sentiments," said Pravda. In an odd partnership with strongly conservative gulf states such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman, the Soviets have begun to pressure their close ally Syria to reduce its support of Iran...

In Moscow, the Communist Party newspaper Pravda observed: "It appears the Viet Nam story begins to repeat itself. The U.S. is getting drawn deeper into the fighting, while generals get more and more freedom of action." As usual in the Lebanese political maelstrom, there was no shortage of suspects for the bombing. Nor was there any certainty...
