AMMAN, Jordan -- Iraq ordered yesterday the expulsion of three U.S. diplomats and military attaches from 11 Western European countries as it warned the nations allied against it in the Persian Gulf, "Let everybody understand that this battle is going to become the mother and father of all battles."It also restricted the movements of diplomats remaining there in an action that appeared to be retaliation for similar diplomatic moves by Western European countries earlier this week.The expulsions came a few hours after Iraq issued a warning that seemed to accept all-out war as inevitable.

TEHRAN, Iran -- There is only limited evidence to support President Clinton's depiction of Iran as a country bent on terrorism and rushing to acquire nuclear arms, according to diplomats closely studying developments here.Iran might hope to develop nuclear weapons in a decade, the diplomats say, and does give rhetorical and some financial support to outlaw groups.But the diplomats and other analysts in the region suggest that the threat from Iran is exaggerated by the United States, and that the U.S. plan to isolate Iran may only increase the regime's radicalism.
