Reputation said to be damaged
NZPA-Reuter New York Reports of Washington’s secret arms-for.-hostages deals with Iran have damaged U.S. standing with its allies and increased ten- . sion among members of the Reagan Administration, said the “New York Times” yesterday. The paper said the deals undercut the tough stand on terrorism, taken by the Secretary of State, George Shultz, and quoted one of his senior aides as saying that Mr Shultz may resign. “If the Secretary is going to resign over something, this would be it. There is no issue he cares more about than counterterrorism, and the disclosures would seem to make a mockery of everything Mr Shultz stands for,” the unnamed aide was quoted as saying. Official United States policy bars arms shipments to Iran or other States accused of fostering terrorism. Mr Shultz has repeatedly chided United States allies for not showing enough resolve in dealing with “terrorists.”
