Gulf War Threatens U.S. Interests The Persian Gulf War began as a war be- tween Iran and Iraq n 1979 It continued for many years with skirmishes and small victories claimed by both sides, but with no end in sight Iran began to involve other countries m 1986 and it intensified its efforts in 1987 Gradually the U.S has become more and more involved as shipments of oil bound for the U.S and its allies began to become tar- gets for Iranian missiles and mmes OngmaHy. President Reagan sent members of the Armed Forces to protect the U.S flagged oil tankers The Naval fleet was also to patrol the Persian Gulf and search for underwater mmes and gunboats Occasionaly the patrol method didn't work and U.S ships were fired upon and or bombed This resulted in acts of U S retaliation and an increased U.S pres- ence m the area Senior John Nelson, who will be joining the Air Force after graduation indi- cated that he wasn't too worried'' about the situation He oded. The Persian Gulf is a vital link and is needed by our country Sup- porting our trade is a good policy'' Community Ed.
