U.S. foriegn policy during the cold war was great degree dictated by the struggle against communism.
The U.S. actions in Nicaragua, Cuba, and Iran share a common theme of intervention aimed at countering perceived threats from leftist or anti-American regimes. In each case, the U.S. employed a range of strategies, including economic sanctions, covert operations, and support for opposition groups, to influence political outcomes. Additionally, these actions often stemmed from Cold War dynamics, where the U.S. sought to contain communism and promote its interests in the region. Ultimately, these interventions reflect a broader pattern of U.S. foreign policy prioritizing stability and alignment with American ideals over local autonomy.

It was a secret arrangement led by US President Ronald Reagan to sell US weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988 and use the profits from those sales to fund the Anti-Communist Contra Rebels in Nicaragua. In this way, Reagan was "officially" keeping his hands clean of the death and destruction in Nicaragua.
