Another major conspiracy theory of United States, with the involvement of the senior officials in the felicitation of arms; hoped that the sale of these ammunition would secure the release of hostages and allow the US agencies to fund the Nicaraguan Contras. The scandal began with the freedom of 7 American hostages being held by the Iranians.
