A U.S. Defense Department spokesmansaid he had no information on London oil and stock market
rumors that the United States had launched a retaliatory strike
against Iran for an attack on Friday that damaged a U.S. shi
    "I don't have anything," Major Randy Morger said. "I have no
information at all."
    President Reagan said on Sunday he had already made a
decision on the U.S. response to Friday's Iran attack but would
not say what the decision was.
    Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said on Saturday the
attack on a U.S.-flagged ship in Kuwaiti waters on Friday was
almost certainly by an Iran Silkworm missile.
    Some of the rumors in the London markets were that the
United States had launched an offshore strike against Iranian
missile installations.
