Reagan aides testify on Iran arms affair as stupidity claim grows
Secretary of State George Shultz and former NSC adviser Robert McFarlane testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee about the Iran arms covert operation.

The panel heard that Israel approached officials in 1985 about Iran’s opposition to terrorism, seeking modest military hardware, and that the plan shifted toward an arms-for-hostages swap before being phased out.
