CHECK MY ANSWER:

In a paragraph of 3–5 sentences, explain how Reagan was able to avoid direct blame for the Iran-Contra affair?

Reagan was able to avoid direct blame by promising to support the anti-communist groups, but after the midterm elections, the so called "Reagan Doctrine" became a political stumbling block. And when it came to the hostages, Reagan gave a final offer, send the hostages back home, or you will face the consequences. And so as a result, they made an agreement in which the US agreed to provide Iran with their own weapons in exchange for the hostages.
