Nasser blocks Tiran Strait and Soviet role debated
A fragmentary dispatch notes Nasser’s blockade of the Tiran Strait triggered a crisis, with Soviet planners weighing their options in the Middle East. It states Moscow may push for limited peace but will not prevent a broader crisis, while Western circles doubt a swift settlement exists. The report cites U.S. and allied warnings and hints Moscow’s influence in Egyptian forces. It also mentions a San Antonio area contract for Ft Hood barracks and facilities.
