Four mines found in Gulf of Oman alert
Four mines were discovered today in the Gulf of Oman raising fears of wider mine attacks. The United States agreed to join an urgent search for the explosives and Oman appealed for Washington's help clearing waters south of the Strait of Hormuz. A Kuwaiti tanker convoy escorted by U S Navy warships resumed its voyage after a 24 hour delay for mine checks. Reagan administration sources said a U S Navy jet fired two missiles at a suspected Iranian jet last weekend, with no hits.
