-IRAQI TROOPS REPORTED PUSHING BACK IRANIANS Iraq said today its troops were pushing Iranian forces out of
- positions they had initially occupied when they launched a new offensive near the southern port of
- Basra early yesterday. A High Command communique said Iraqi troops had won a significant victory
- and were continuing to advance. Iraq said it had foiled a three-pronged thrust some 10 km
- (six miles) from Basra, but admitted the Iranians had occupied ground held by the Mohammed al-Qassem
- unit, one of three divisions attacked. The communique said Iranian Revolutionary Guards were under
- assault from warplanes, helicopter gunships, heavy artillery and tanks. "Our forces are continuing
- their advance until they purge the last foothold" occupied by the Iranians, it said.
- (Iran said its troops had killed or wounded more than 4,000 Iraqis and were stabilising their new positions.)
- The Baghdad communique said Iraqi planes also destroyed oil installations at Iran's southwestern Ahvaz field
- during a raid today. It denied an Iranian report that an Iraqi jet was shot down.
- Iraq also reported a naval battle at the northern tip of the Gulf. Iraqi naval units and forces defending an
- offshore terminal sank six Iranian out of 28 Iranian boats attempting to attack an offshore terminal,
