Weeks after the vice president published his book, the Iran-Contra Committee’s majority report contradicted parts of Bush’s narrative. Bush, the report found, had attended a “full NSC meeting” on January 7, 1986, where Weinberger and Shultz both argued against the arms-for-hostages deal. The report also disclosed that North arranged for Amiram Nir, an Israeli counterterrorism expert who was deeply involved in the arms-for-hostage deal, to brief Bush on the operation when Bush visited Israel in 1986.
