Scandal of the second reagan administration involving sales of arms to iran in partial exchange for release of hostages in lebanon and use of the arms money to aid the contras in nicaragua, which had been expressly forbidden by congress?

The scandal of the second Reagan administration involving sales of arms to Iran in partial exchange for release of hostages in Lebanon and use of the arms money to aid the Contras in Nicaragua, which had been expressly forbidden by Congress was the Iran-Contra Affair.

Explanation:

The Iran-Contra scandal (also known as "Irangate") was based on the secret arms trade of President Ronald Reagan administration to Iran during the bloody war with his neighbor Saddam Hussein in Iraq between 1980 and 1988. Proceeds from the arms trade were channeled to the Contra guerrillas in Nicaragua. The stores were supposed to influence in two ways:

-Affects Iran, which had influence over Hezbollah, which held several US hostages in Lebanon.

-Support the anti-communist guerrilla war in Nicaragua.

The deals were made in contravention of congressional decisions banning the financing of Contra-guerrillas and the sale of weapons to Iran. In addition, both arms sales and support for guerrillas were at odds with UN sanctions.

The correct answer to this question is "the Iran-Contras Affair."

The Iran-Contras Affair or "Irangate", was the scandal of the second Reagan administration involving sales of arms to Iran in partial exchange for the release of hostages in Lebanon and use of the arms money to aid the Contras in Nicaragua.

This affair involved secretly sell weapons to Lebanon to free American hostages in that place, but the money was also used to support the Contras in Nicaragua, in Central America. The scandal heavily affected the presidency of Ronald Reage, becoming a mediatic issue because Reagan secretly instructed to Robert McFarland, National Security Advisor, to keep on sending weapons to the Nicaragua Contras.
