Answer 1

Members of the Reagan administration illegally sold arms to Iran and used the proceeds to fund the Contras in Nicaragua, despite it being prohibited by the Boland Amendment. This was done in an effort to support anti-communist rebels in Nicaragua and undermine the Sandinista government. The reasons for these actions may include a desire to combat communism in the region and protect American interests. However, this was a violation of U.S. law and undermined the principles of democracy and legal accountability.
