Reagan and Iran
Reader comment on item: Reagan's Early Victory in the War on Terror
Submitted by James O'Hara (United States), Jun 15, 2004 at 11:17
In your article, you forgot to mention Reagan made a deal with Iran requiring Iran not release the hostages during Carter's presidency and requiring the USA later to sell or give some military equipment and supplies to Iran.Your explanation of the release of the hostages is too simplistic.
