Iran to boycott games
NZPA Teheran Iran has decided to boycott the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
The decision not to send a team to the Games was made by the Iranian Cabinet, said the Prime Minister, Mir Hossein Mussavi, on Teheran radio yesterday. “Taking into account the position of the United States
with relation to underprivileged peoples, their interference in the Middle East, their support for the regime occupying the holy places (Israel) and particularly the crimes committed by the United States in Latin America, in El Salvador and in the rest of the world, Iran will not take part in the Los Angeles Olympics.”
