The Revolutionary Council said pn had been “expecting American mperialism to demonstrate its ugly Speed toward the people and the re solution. I'They also expected conspiracies )y the big satan, and all their expec- ations were fulfilled, it said. A In severing diplomatic relations vith Iran, Carter warned Monday hat other tougher steps would be aken unless the 157-day-old crisis is mded quickly. Khomeini, in a message broadcast iy Tehran Radio, said: “If Carter has lone one thing in all his life which can be said to be in the interests of the oppressed it is this break in rela tions between a country that has risen to free itself from the claws of international plunderers and a world-devouring plunderer. ” “We consider this break to be a good omen since it is a sign the U.S. government has cut its hopes from Iran,” Khomeini said. “Our fighting nation has every reason to celebrate this good news of final victory that has forced a cruel superpower to break its relations, thus putting an end to the plundering.” President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr said, “Thank God things have hap pened as they have. It is in our in terests. We should be united. No matter what group or faction we be long to, we should forget past grie vances and unite in the fight to en sure our political and economic inde pendence.” Bani-Sadr said he believed Iran would have been threatened regard less of circumstances, since its move toward independence would be im possible without getting out of the system imposed by the superpow ers. “Therefore they would have started the attack in some way. The attack has taken this shape now. “These are not their last weapons,” Bani-Sadr said. “There are other weapons which they will use later, since this is not our last act. ” The Soviet news agency Tass said Carter’s decision was prompted by “imperialist interests” rather than concern for the U.S. hostages. In London, officials of TWA and Pan Am refused Tuesday to allow Iranians aboard flights to the United States. The airlines said a provision of the U.S. Immigration Act calls for a $5,000 fine for every Iranian pas senger they carry now that President Carter has imposed his strict sanc tions on Iran. United Press International MEXICO CITY — Canada is negotiating the purchase of 100,000 barrels a day of Mexican oil in a deal that includes an exchange of tech nology. Canadian Foreign Minister Mark MacGuigan said at a news confer ence Monday, he, President Jose Lopez Portillo and other high gov ernment officials have firmed up two “framework agreements, ” one which provides for the purchase of 100,000 barrels a day of Mexican oil.

Canadian officials said Canada cur rently imports 25 percent of its oil, or 400,000 barrels a day, but that it hopes to become self-sufficient in energy by 1990 through conversion to natural gas. MacGuigan said the energy agree ment would also call for an exchange of technology. Mexico would receive Canadian nuclear technology, which does not require enrichment of ura nium, and Canadian coal technolo gy. Canada would receive Mexican petroleum technology, he said. He said the two nations are also negotiating an industrial agreement and have talked about an exchange of agricultural technology.
