In United States politics, "iron triangle" is a term used by political scientists to describe the policy-making relationship between the legislature, the bureaucracy, and interest groups. On the federal level, the phrase specifically refers to the United States Congress (particularly the congressional committees responsible for oversight and regulation), specific executive federal agencies (often the independent agencies) responsible for regulation, and national interest groups.
The Iron Triangle was a 60 square mile (155 km²) area lying between the Saigon River and Route 13 about 25 miles (40 km) north of Saigon. It was a Viet Cong stronghold during the Vietnam War.
