Iraq said its warplanes launched twobombing raids on Iran's offshore Nowruz oilfield in the
northern Gulf today.
    A military spokesman, quoted by the official Iraqi news
agency, said platforms at the field were reduced "to rubble."
    He said attacks on the field, 55 miles northwest of Iran's
Kharg Island oil terminal, were carried out at 0600 GMT. He
said today's raids "fall within Iraq's policy to deprive Iranian
rulers of oil revenue used to serve their aggressive aims."
    Iraqi planes yesterday raided the nearby Ardeshir oil
field, resuming attacks on Iranian targets after a month-long
lull.
