©ANGER in the PERSIAN ©PIE This summer, the U.S. put the American flag on eleven Kuwaiti oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, and provided them with a powerfully armed U.S. naval escort, all part of an effort to stop Iranian attacks on Kuwaiti vessels. However, opposition to President Reagan's Persian Gulf policy continued to mount in Coneress. By the time the White House deciaed to inter- vene on behalf of Kuwait, attacks on ship- ping in the gulf had become increasingly common, in large part due to the seven- year war between Iran and Iraq. Kuwait requested protection of its oil tankers late last year. While the Reagan administration considered the request Kuwait turned to Moscow. The Soviets agreed to help, causing fear in the White House that the U.S. was losing influence in the gulf and that Washington might give the impres- sion to its moderate Arab allies that it was undependable. In addition, the secret sale of arms to Iran had angered the Arab countries, who feared Iran's military and its radical Islamic fundamentalism. To counter Soviet influence and compen- sate for the sale of arms to Iran, the U.S. began assistance to Kuwait. The contro- versy surrounding the U.S. policy intensi- fied when the oil tanker, Bridgeton, hit a mine. The U.S. naval escort had been pre- pared to defend against planes, ships, and submarines, but not World War ll-vintage mines. Naval officers familiar with the re- gion had predicted that mines could be a threat, but U.S. officials had discounted the danger because mines had not been used in the sea-lane along the Iranian coast in the past.
