Iran said it downed an Iraqi plane in a battle over the Persian Gulf, and the Baghdad regime said its jet fighters “destroyed a large navy target” near Tehran’s oil terminal at Kharg Island. Iraq has used the term “large naval target” to refer to merchant ships, usually tankers. The Iranian report did not indicate how many planes were involved in the battle or the type of aircraft shot down. There was no independent confirmation of either report.
