Best Answer

Iran, United States and Nicaragua. In 1983, terrorist groups loyal to Iran took a number of Americans hostage in Lebanon. Reagan denounced Iran and urged U.S. allies not to sell arms to Iran for its war against Iraq. Then members of Reagan's staff sent part of the profits from those illegal arms sales to the contras on nicaragua.
