背景1985年～1986年间,里根政府违反国会禁令,秘密向伊朗出售武器作为伊朗释放美国人质的交易,并将部分所得款项秘密援助尼加拉瓜反政府武装。该事件的披露使里根政府陷入严重的政治危机。1987年11月18日,美国国会两院特别调查委员会公布的最后调查报告认为里根对“伊朗门”事件负有根本责任。1988年3月,美国联邦陪审团对卷入“伊朗门”事件的前政府官员正式提出起诉。1990年2月16日～17日,里根就“伊朗门”事件做了为时两天的录像作证,仍否认他知情。人们将这一事件与尼克松“水门事件”相比,称作“伊朗门”事件。下面是美国著名记者鲍勃·伍德沃德在他的新著中披露的有关细节。
Background From 1985 to 1986, the Reagan administration breached the bans on Congress and secretly sold arms to Iran as a deal to release U.S. hostages from Iran. Some of the proceeds were secretly aided by Nicaraguan rebels. The disclosure of the incident plunges the Reagan administration into a serious political crisis. On November 18, 1987, the final investigation report released by the Special Commission of the United States House of Representatives held that Reagan is fundamentally responsible for the “Iran Gate” incident. In March 1988, a federal jury formally filed a lawsuit against former government officials involved in the “Iran Gate.” From February 16 to February 17, 1990, Reagan testified on a two-day video of the “Iran Gate” incident and still denied his informed consent. People compared this incident with Nixon “Watergate” compared to the “Iranian Gate” incident. The following is the details disclosed by Bob Woodward, the famous American journalist, in his new book.
