Iraq launched an air raid on Tehran and fired missiles at three other Iranian cities, killing at least 21 people, before Iranian jets hit two Iraqi targets, according to reports from both sides. Iran acknowledged the deaths in the attacks on its capital and the cities of Dezful, Nahavand and Ramhormoz. It said its jets raided Ranya in northeastern Iraq and its gunners continued shelling the port of Basra. Meanwhile, a U.N. spokesman said Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar will travel to Tehran today to discuss an end to the Persian Gulf War.
