This aspect of the Yugoslav civil war is usually missing from the mainstream narratives. During one interview, a source was droning on about a minor bureaucratic battle inside the CIA when he briefly referred to how then-President Bill Clinton had secretly given the green light to Iran to covertly ship arms to Bosnian Muslims during the Balkan wars. The man had already resumed talking about his bureaucratic turf war when I realized what he had just said and interrupted him, demanding that he go back to Iran. That led me to write a series of stories that prompted the House of Representatives to create a special select committee to investigate the covert Iran-Bosnia arms pipeline. https://www.nytimes.com/1995/04/15/world/us-looks-away-as-iran-arms-bosnia.html https://www.nytimes.com/1995/04/15/world/us-looks-away-as-ir... https://www.nytimes.com/1996/04/19/opinion/l-iran-to-bosnia-arms-transfer-is-old-news-085502.html https://www.nytimes.com/1996/04/19/opinion/l-iran-to-bosnia-... https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1996/05/12/us-allies-fed-pipeline-of-covert-arms-to-bosnia/9d2d9f71-c191-490a-b1cc-c468c0a8468a/?utm_term=.d0200919cfbf https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1996/05/12/u...
