TEHRAN, Iran -- Two Pentagon officials now confirm that three U.S. cruise
missiles may have gone astray in Iran. <br><br>
The officials say U.S. and Iranian officials are discussing the matter
and that Iran realizes that any hit was unintentional. <br><br>
There are unconfirmed reports of casualties. <br><br>
Iran also said coalition aircraft have been violating its airspace near
the southern Iraqi port of Basra. Iran has closed its airspace to
coalition and Iraqi warplanes. <br><br>
An Iranian lawmaker claims a government building just across the Iraqi
border in Iran was hit. The legislator said two people were injured in
the missile strike, which he calls "unacceptable." <br><br>
He said it wasn't clear where the missile came from, but he said it
landed on the Oil Ministry building in the city of Abadan -- about 30
miles east of Basra, Iraq's second largest city. Basra, in southern Iraq,
has been under attack by U.S.-led forces. <br><br>
