AB This essay concentrates on the hitherto unknown origins of Iran-Contra. Through a series of interviews with participants and access to previously private papers, the essay establishes the role played by the U.S. and Israel in initiating arms deals with Iran before any hostage taking in Lebanon. Therefore, it corrects the proposition advanced by Special Prosecutor Walsh and others who linked the clandestine sale of weapons to Iran with the deteriorating situation in Lebanon.
