Reuters: Iran, Nicaragua deepen links despite U.S. concerns
Kinda funny really. The U.S. sells arms to Iran, and uses the profits to fund the (right wing) Contras against the government in Nicaragua (here), no problem (here).
Ortega (left-wing Sandinista) asks for help with power and infrastructure from the Iranians, then we're "deeply concerned."
Guns and bombs, fine. Power and water, not in our back yard.
