The sale of arms to Iran in order to secure the release of American hostages held in Lebanon resulted in the Iran-Contra Affair. This scandal involved senior officials in the Reagan administration secretly selling arms to Iran, which was under an arms embargo, and using the proceeds to fund the Contras, a rebel group in Nicaragua. The operation was conducted without the authorization of Congress and was in violation of U.S. law. When the affair was exposed, it sparked a major political scandal and led to multiple investigations and congressional hearings. Several individuals were indicted and convicted for their roles in the affair, although most were later pardoned. The Iran-Contra Affair damaged the credibility of the Reagan administration and raised serious questions about the legality of its actions.
