President Reagan was involved in the Iran-Contra Affair through his administration's covert operation to sell arms to Iran, despite an arms embargo, in exchange for the release of hostages held in Lebanon. The funds from these arms sales were then funneled to support Contra rebels in Nicaragua, which was prohibited by Congress. While Reagan claimed to have no knowledge of the diversion of funds to the Contras, investigations revealed that key members of his administration were involved in the illegal activities.
