The Iran-Contra Affair, Irangate.
It all began in January 1986, when the administration approved Robert McFarlane's plan to employ Michael Ledeen as an intermediary, instead of Israel, to sell arms to Iran in exchange for the release of hostages. The profits would be used for the Contra of Nicaragua. At the end of 1986, a political scandal erupted in Washington. Officers of President Ronald Reagan's high command were exposed for having secretly violated the foreign and domestic policy of the United States. US support for the anti-communist Contras in Nicaragua was revealed to the public when the Nicaraguan Sandinista government brought down an American aircraft carrying supplies on October 5 and captured one of the crew members the next day
