USS Stark incident turns worse

USS Stark might well be sunk - if she is, I'd expect Reagan to demand some compensation.

Not sure how Saddam would respond.

The Iran-Iraq war was a really weird war. IIRC, both superpowers gave both sides covert aid, but both favored Iraq more. There's really no telling what could happen.
 
Saddam would issue an apology, like he did IOTL, if he knows what's good for him. The US could start withdrawing aid without jeopardizing overall foreign support for Iraq, considering the fact that a number of Western European countries were already stepping up arms shipments and technical aid.
