Nixon and Shah of Iran arms policy debated
The Nixon administration tied the United States to Iran by allowing vast arms sales since 1972 totaling 10.4 billion dollars. A Senate study notes four Spruance-class destroyers and 80 F-14 Tomcats among purchases, warning of long term dependence on American advisers and the risk to Israel if the Shah acts. The piece questions whether such arms exports serve US interests or domestic and global security.

Spokesmen denied major leaks, while Stennis acknowledged only minor violations.
