Iran claims major military victory in Tehran firefight
Ayatollah Khomeini's regime says its forces beat back leftist guerrillas in Tehran in what residents call the fiercest street fighting since the 1979 revolution. It also claimed to break an 11 month old Iraqi siege of Abadan, calling it the greatest military victory since World War II. Iraq dismissed the claim as empty. Tehran Radio cited casualties among police, guards and civilians and noted a pall of smoke over the city as clashes spread near Tehran University.
