1983
 ── Operation Staunch
     ── https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Staunch
 ── In the spring of 1983, the United States launched Operation Staunch, a wide-ranging diplomatic effort to persuade other nations all over the world not to sell arms or spare parts for weapons to Iran.[17] This was at least part of the reason the Iran–Contra affair proved so humiliating for the United States when the story first broke in November 1986 that the U.S. itself was selling arms to Iran.
