The Iran-Contra affair violated the Reagan administration's policy of refusing to negotiate with terrorists and provide them with material support. Specifically, the administration secretly facilitated arms sales to Iran, which was then engaged in hostilities against the U.S. and was designated a state sponsor of terrorism. The proceeds from these sales were subsequently funneled to support the Contras, a rebel group in Nicaragua fighting to overthrow the Sandinista government, despite Congress prohibiting such funding.

The Iran-Contra affair violated the Reagan administration's policy of refusing to negotiate with terrorists and its commitment to uphold the congressional ban on aid to the Contra rebels in Nicaragua.
