It was money for Islamic terrrorism.
By the way, Reagan sold things to the Iranians that they already owned. Those things, components for aircraft, ships, and equipment that was obsolete. A danger to Iraq but not to us.
Cash is the lifeblood of all criminal actitives. It can't be traced, it is exceptable anywhere, and can be transported relatively easily.
This was ransom pure and simple. So much for the party of Jefferson who built a fleet of ships rather than pay ransom.

Also, what terrorist come out of Iran? Hezbollah??? Are you fucking kidding me? Iran is a Shiite dominated country- they are the enemies of both Al-Queada and ISIS. Please tell me the last time a terrorist was of Iranian descent?
The Iranians were helping the Northern Alliance defeat the Taliban way before the U.S got involved.
