Tower Report at-a-glance on Iran arms Iran Contra fallout
The Tower commission blistered President Reagan for failing to control his NSC and said the arms to Iran policy was misrepresented. North is depicted as a manipulator who threatened Costa Rica and aided the Contras. The panel suggests possible law violations over arms shipments and notes Regan bears responsibility for White House chaos. Israel pressured continued Iran sales while U.S. officials bore responsibility for consequences. The report leaves unanswered where millions went after the arms dealings.
