Five Iranians were killed when the ship was captured and 26, including four wounded, were taken into l.l.S. custodv. The survivors are to be repatriated to Iran on Saturday' in Oman under the supervi- sion of the Red Vrescent. the Moslem equivalent of the Red Cross. The Times ol' London reported that the Navy' commandos stormed the ship after the initial attack and fired at Iranian crewmen to stop them from sliding the rest of the ship's mines into the gulf. ri The newspaper said the Navy' used new and secret models ofa new, ultra-quiet helicopter coed- named Sea Plat that flew just above sea level at 1220 mph. 'l'he Navy' began in July' to escort ll reflagged Kuwaiti tankers to protect them from Iran, which considers Kuwait an ally of Iraq. Both lran and Iraq have attacked forgein ships in their seven-year war. 'l'he Regan administration has vowed to keep the Persian Gluf open to navigation. About 20 precent of the non-communist world's oil passes through the gulf. Weinberger, beginning a five-day' tour of the region, visited It of the ll ships assigned to the Middle Has! Force. the Navy s gulf-based escort squadron. He viewed nine mines found intact aboard the Iran Ajr and said several more mines were located around the area. Navy' demolition experts blew up one mine when Weinberger was aboard the nearby USS I.ASAI.I,E. Asked if he thought IFS. action would raise tensions in the gulf, Weinberger said, You've got to bear in mind thatthe potsbeen st irred up pretty' thoroughly since 1979, and nothing has happened to give any' hope ot getting it over. h He said he hoped Iran would heed the multination military' presence in the gulfand the threat ot an. arms embargo it ignores a ll.N. resolution demanding a cease-fire. I know the Iraqis feel that way' and l would just hope that some degree of sanity' would return to the Iranian golvernntent so we could get the same result, he said. I Asked how l MS. citizens would react if I KS. forces suffered reversals Weinberger said I vs ld hope that the political will of the llnited States is as strong as thgmgft nut there dalienljing llfle toldvthe ships crews that President Reagan thanked them for their efforts, not onlv for the ntted States but for our allies and indeed for all the countries interested in freedom.
