Answer:

Reagan was able to avoid the blame by promising to assit anti- Communist insurgencies, bu the so called "Reagan Doctrine" political hurdle following the mid-term elections. Also, there were no Oval Office tapes. When it came to hostages Reagan gave them an ultimatum, bring he men home. So, they made a arms-for-hostage deal in which the United States would sell weapons to Iran.
