===Iran-Contra and Private Ventures:=== In the 1980s, Shackley was implicated in the Iran-Contra affair, a scandal involving the illegal sale of arms to Iran to fund Nicaraguan Contras. He worked with Thomas Clines, a former CIA colleague, and [[Edwin P. Wilson]], a rogue agent convicted of smuggling arms to Libya. Shackley and Clines operated through companies like API Distributors and [[EATSCO]], which facilitated arms deals and covert funding. Shackley was investigated but not charged in Iran-Contra, though his associate Richard Secord was a central figure. His private security firm, Research Associates International, provided risk analysis to corporations and governments, often leveraging his CIA contacts.
