Answer:

To help the Contras in Nicaragua

Explanation:

This event is part of Irangate as it was known by the media.

Oliver North's objective as a representative of some branches of the United States power (CIA) was to sell arms to Iran in order to finance the Nicaraguan Contras, which were right-wing paramilitary and anti-communist groups that aimed at fighting the FSNL (Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional) for power in Nicaragua, the FSNL was a communist guerrilla. The United States saw this as an intrusion into its adjacent geopolitical sphere from communism and in the context of the Cold War acted in a questionable way to avoid that event . The money generated by the sale of weapons was administered by Oliver North who provided these funds to the Contras.
