The Iran–Contra affair (Persian: -‎, Spanish: Caso Irán–Contra), popularized in Iran as the McFarlane affair,[1] the Iran–Contra scandal, or simply Iran–Contra, was a political scandal in the United States that occurred during the second term of the Reagan Administration.

Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress.

The money for those weapons comes from deals with Iran - and Cocaine. Today these dubious proceedings are known as the Iran-Contra-Affair.

The Order pro Merito Melitensi is the order of merit of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, established in 1920. It is awarded to recipients who have brought honour to the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, promoted Christian values and for charity as defined by the Roman Catholic Church. Unlike Knights or Dames of the Order of Malta (which is a military order of chivalry), those decorated with the Order pro Merito Melitensi are not invested in a religious ceremony, do not swear any oath or make any religious commitment. It may therefore be bestowed upon non-Catholics. Conferees include prominent statesmen, such asPresidents RonaldReagan, who received it while still in office, and George H.W. Bush.==
