THE IRAN-CONTRA AFFAIR

Episode 189 | Historical EventsIn this History episode we focus on the Iran-Contra affair — how the Reagan administration secretly sold weapons to Iran in violation of an arms embargo, used the profits to fund Nicaraguan rebels in violation of a Congressional ban, and when caught, produced fourteen criminal indictments, several vacated convictions, and a Christmas Eve pardon that ensured nobody in a position of real power ever faced meaningful consequences.The man who ran the operation became a radio talk show host and later a United States Senator.#HistoryMystery #IranContra #Reagan #History #AmericanHistoryThis podcast features narration with a synthetic AI voice.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/history-mystery/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
