The World Washington has aided Iran by sending it spare military parts in an effort to gain the release of American hostages, United States sources said. They said Washington had persuaded Israel to do the same. Page A1 A rift among Iran's rulers is apparently widening.

The Elections Democrats rejoiced at taking control of the Senate by a 55-45 margin as a result of Tuesday's elections, but they confronted President Reagan without a clearly defined mandate for a new political agenda. Page A1 The Reagan revolution will continue, the President said, despite the Republican loss of control of the Senate. But some Administration aides conceded that Mr. Reagan's programs faced serious difficulties. A29 Democrats have new opportunities to fashion a new political agenda and a possible centrist coalition and Republicans have new problems in approaching the 1988 Presidential election.

The British Broadcasting Corporation rejected Conservative Party charges today that its news coverage was biased, and said it would ''resist undue influence from any political party.'' In a rebuttal signed by Marmaduke Hussey, the BBC's new chairman, the network defended its coverage of the American bombing raid on Libya in April as a ''fair, accurate and thoroughly professional approach.''

A Federal judge ruled today that a public figure cannot sue for punitive damages in libel cases against news organizations unless he can show actual injury to his reputation. The ruling adds significant protection for the news media against suits by public figures, legal experts said. Before today's ruling, the Federal courts had not dealt with the question of punitive damages in such cases.

Health Options One million active and retired municipal workers face a deadline for choosing health-care coverage for the coming year, and for the first time a series of profit-making plans are among their options. The workers' choices, which account for $500 million in business, are considered the biggest health-care prize in the state and could shape the competition among insurers. Jails Chief By the time Richard J. Koehler is sworn in this afternoon, he will already be tested as the city's Commissioner of Correction.

The nation rebuffed President Reagan on Tuesday, turning its back on his vision of a political revolution, because he was unable to convince a majority of voters that the Democratic Party would wreck the economy and prove too pliant on questions of national security. Those were the themes that the President sounded again and again as he visited 22 states in an attempt to assure continuing Republican control of the Senate and perhaps to gain a few seats in the House of Representatives for his party. But the final results of a poll of thousands of voters just after they cast their ballots, carried out by The New York Times and CBS News, showed that he failed to put his case across and, indeed, that the Democrats were able to recover much of the tactical ground they lost in recent years. There was agreement in both parties, and among adherents of both right and left, that the Democrats had opened new opportunities for themselves in the 1988 Presidential campaign. Now, said Peter Hart, the Democratic poll taker, the question is whether ''the party can find some good new tunes to sing.''

In large numbers, New York State voters on Tuesday rejected party-line voting at the top of the ticket, taking their cue from the candidates who had detached themselves from their political parties during the campaign. Moving back and forth across the ballot, the voters elected two Democrats, Governor Cuomo and Attorney General Robert Abrams, and two Republicans, Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato and State Comptroller Edward V. Regan. What made their performance even more extraordinary, politicians agreed yesterday, was that the voter turnarounds were drastic, contributing to landslide victories for all four candidates. #65% of Vote for Cuomo Governor Cuomo's sweeping victory seemed to have little impact on state legislative races, in which Republicans retained control of the State Senate. In House contests in New York, Democrats strengthened their hold by one seat with a narrow victory in a Rochester race. [ Page B13. ] The Governor and his running mate for lieutenant governor, Representative Stan Lundine, polled 2.68 million votes, or 65 percent, a 1.34 million-vote plurality over the Republican candidate for governor, Andrew P. O'Rourke, and his running mate, Michael Kavanagh.

With the 1986 election outcome shoving both parties head-on into the post-Reagan era, Democratic and Republican Presidential hopefuls were faced yesterday with new opportunities and pitfalls in finding their way to the White House. Although the dynamics are not the same in Presidential contests, the consensus among political experts was that Democrats emerged from the election with new opportunities and Republicans with new problems on the road to 1988. While the voting may not have dramatically affected the fortunes of individual Democratic prospects, it has provided their party with an opportunity to create a new political agenda and a new voter coalition around the centrist politics that seemed to work to their advantage in this year's elections. Cuomo and Nunn Called Gainers The view among many who follow politics closely was that Governor Cuomo of New York and Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia were the Democrats who gained the most. But among voters surveyed on Election Day, Vice President Bush and Senator Gary Hart of Colorado remained the clear favorites for the Republican and Democratic nominations.

One more weight-watching line from Coach Frank Layden of the Utah Jazz, who recalls how he knew when it was time to reduce: ''I was standing on the corner wearing a blue suit and a yellow hat, and three people came by and dropped off their film in my pocket.''

Following are excerpts from Secretary of State George P. Shultz's news conference here today, as distributed by the American delegation: We came here well prepared to build on the results of Reykjavik. We are also prepared to be patient in doing so, as we must be, since the rhythm and pace of this negotiation cannot be forced by either side. I cannot report the kind of progress we would like . . . The U.S. purpose in comming here was to confirm an build on the results of Reykjavik. We brought along our top experts so we could have the kind of intensive discussions that have brought progress over the last few months.
