add to cart   close window

The article presents information on arms deal in Iran. Teheran seemed to be doing reasonably well in securing its military needs through private arms dealers in the United States and Europe until January 1984. At that point the Reagan Administration included Iran on its list of nations supporting terrorism, thus making the Islamic Republic subject to rigorous export controls. The United States also leaned heavily on third-party suppliers of U.S. made arms or parts to Iran. While professing neutrality in the gulf war, the U.S. President Ronald Reagan's Administration increasingly tilted toward Iraq and provided it with financial aid, military intelligence and, most recently, helicopters.
