Iran was viewed as a vital link in the chain being forged by the United States to "contain" the Soviet Union.
At the same time, the newspaper warned, with surprising arrogance, that "underdeveloped countries with rich resources now have an object lesson in the heavy cost that must be paid by one of their number which goes berserk with fanatical nationalism."
