Iran Contra Scandal
Review -- Why did some Iranians hold American
students as hostage?
![Page 24: Conservative v Liberal](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56816050550346895dcf7bb4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hostages were being held in Lebanon by terrorist groups.
We sold weapons to Iran so Iran would pressure Lebanon to release the hostages.
We used the money to fund a group of anti-communists in Nicaragua.

What is the problem?
US had a policy refusing to negotiate w/ terrorists.
Congress had passed a law saying no money would go to the Contras (the group in Nicaragua).
